E6, Provia or Velvia
B&W, lots of stuff. I usually just go for Tri-X. _________________ Michael

Poundland/Poundshop Agfa film if it's still available (it seems to come and go). You can use it to check there's no probs with the camera.

I think it's tricky to cross-process c41 with b&w chemichals, can be done but the results are sometimes good, not always. Not a testing tool.
edit: ok - it's a blog, the one I saw was about cross-processing.
edit edit: so - can be done

Your only hope now of getting this film is to visit all Poundland shops and see if it's hidden under other stuff...I visited one store and asked the manager "have you any film for a film camera" and he replied "No". Well I thought I'd check and bought about 40 rolls that were hidden under DVD tapes etc and quite a few that had fallen under a display unit which I fished out with a stick. _________________ Canon A1, AV1, T70 & T90, EOS 300 and EOS300v, Chinon CE and CP-7M.

I agree with Cooltouch on the B&W tri-x suggestion.
Color film? Well, if you want cheap film that does a decent job, especially for testing a camera, I suggest Agfa Vista 200, or Kodak Ektar 100 if your looking for some nice fine grain film. _________________ Nikons : F4-EM-FG-FE2-FA-EL-FTN-N2020-N70-F Nikkorex
