If you do bulk roll, the cost can go as low as $5.80-$6 per roll, i.e. usual retail price is $125 per can.

Latest news!

CP is offloading their remaining Velvia bulk @ $80! However, the only catch is they expire in July this year! The last time when I was there, i.e. Saturday, I was told they still have 13 cans in stock!

$80?? That's tempting man.

But July is a bit..... early.

Perhaps we could share and get a coupla cans from them. I'm sure amongst ourselves, we'd be able to shoot off a some rolls by July.

Bulk Provia 100F is $96-97 from either Cathay or FotoGuide.

Kodak EliteChrome 100 is going for $60 for 10 rolls and $7.00 if purchased individually.

It should not have very adverse effects, but you might get colour shifts, etc when it's WAY over expiry.

I'm not worried with the expiry date...I have June holidays...remember?

Don't tell me film prices also fluctuate on a day-by-day basis...

I think it 'fluctuates' on who the customer is, i.e. whether you are a regular or not?

rochkoh · 13th March 2002

I believe the price variance of between $0.10-$0.30 pales in comparison of what a bulk buy can do. If indeed it works out to be $5.80-$6.00 a roll, that works out to be savings of around $3.70-$4.00 per roll. That's savings of $40 for just 10 rolls!

But wait! There's more! Since CP's offloading their Velvia at $80 a can, and assuming a very modest 19 rolls a can, each roll works out to be $4.21! That's savings of over 50%.

Anyone out there interested to share a can? I probably need around 10 rolls or so.

Might need some help to roll the film though.

can 10 cans and start shooting ....

tanjk · 13th March 2002

Actually I don't mind the $80 Velvia bulk. But somebody must load it for me :P

BTW, where can I find the recommended reciprocity compensation values for Velvia? Or can anyone suggest a starting point for me? TIA.

JK

ckiang · 13th March 2002

If it's really like that, I don't mind having like 10 rolls or so, but someone will have to load for me. Let's finish off CP's stock.

good stuff. now all we need is someone to teach us how to roll them films. will be good practise for the Provia 400 bulk buy some of us are intending to get.

anyone willing to teach a group of interested folks?
