Good cheap film UK Poundland

Out of sheer curiosity on Saturday, I put a pair of very dark sunglasses on and pulled my collar up high and ventured into the Norwich branch of Poundland (ordinarily I avoid such places). Right at the back was a HUGE stack of very very cheap Kodak film for one quid a roll.

Labelled as Kodak Color Plus 200, it's Kodak's answer to the own-brand films. I'm 99 percent sure it's the old VR film, which I used to like very much in the old days.

Shot a roll and took it to Tesco, and it came back absolutely shite Mad

Today I put a roll through a half-decent batch of my homebrew 4-bath C-41 soup, and it's fabulous! I can only assume the spotty pleb at Tesco hadn't replenished his chemicals for a while.

Anyway, that's a long-winded way of saying there's some pretty good film for a quid a pop at Poundland if you have one local/dare to venture in Wink

Ok, not as good as Atilla's ebay find, before you point it out Laughing

Here's a few quick test frames from it to judge the colours:

It looks good, a tad on the warm side perhaps?
In any case a lot better than what many labs deliver.

Good work Graham, I just picked up a couple of rolls in Portsmouth Poundland. I will try them in my spangly Olympus Trip!

Ooh an Oly Trip! I'm a little bit jealous! I loved my Trip - and there aren't many places you can say that without getting ya collar felt Laughing
