Default Where can i get really, really cheap film?

Hi guys,

I did a search on this topic and found nothing of intrest. Therefore, I started this thread to inquire for the cheapest film that can be found in Singapore

It MUST be 135 format. ISO is not a problem.

I heard that the cheapest 35mm film can be found at Daiso for $2/roll. Can anyone confirm this?

Please feel free to share the places that you can find cheap cheap film, hopefully <$3 a roll.

Thanks in advance!

The next time u go into a shop, try asking them. Once I got tons of just expired 24exp Konica film for $1 each from a shop. They were so darn happy I helped them clear their shelves.

o.O. Nice. By the way, is there any difference in IQ with expired film? I read in some forums that there will be some variations in the picture. Any examples?

Thanks!

Usually there are very little noticeable changes; unless the film was not properly stored.
