More Cheap Film at Poundland

[skida]

A contact on another forum has told me that Poundland are selling Ferrania Solaris 200 at two rolls for a pound. It is "Made in EU" and has no date on the box. I have no experience of this film, so if anyone here has used it - is it any good?

[Attila]

yes, excellent film , made in Italy.

Skida, would you entertain a relay? Would love to paypal you for some of that film.

[skida]

I will check our local store to see if they have it and get back to you. (She's going to kill me!)

[Katastrofo]

One of my favorite films, no longer made, so this is probably the last chance Texaco to get some.
At 2 for a pound, if I was there, would be a no-brainer.

I'll check my local store too.

My local store still had some Vista left but no Ferrania.

[Katastrofo]

Skida, thanks for looking and doubt if Ian will find any, either. At that price
one person can buy out the store stock, flip it on ebay for 5-6USD per roll
--and sell it for that. :-/

[Excalibur]

Today, all Poundland had (near London) was Agfa @£1 a roll. erm Only a about a year ago they used to have one of my favourite films Kodak Ultramax 400asa also £1 a roll.
