Here's one for people who still like to break out a film camera every now and then and take photos the old fashioned way. This seems like a great price for 3 packs of Kodak 400 film (24 exposures in each). Usually these film rolls go for about $10 each elsewhere, or about $25 in a 3 pack, so just over $12 for 3 seem like a solid deal.

Item is now on Back order - expected shipping 1-2 months.

      Lots of photographers shoot both film and digital.

      Those photographers are incredibly picky on what film they use though. Not sure if this stuff is any good or not.

    Crack the old Canon AE-1 out.

    Who still does processing?

    • Volution on 09/04/2019 - 08:50

      Last time i process was at big w years ago. Not sure if they still do it or not.
      My AE-1 needs servicing unfortunately, my Nikon FE2 will step in then.

    • mr_me450 on 09/04/2019 - 08:52

      Many Big Ws and K-Marts still send them off but be prepared to wait a while, otherwise Teds Cameras or specialist photography stores do them in house.

    • UFO on 09/04/2019 - 08:54

      And that is the issue… who will process it and at what price? (unless they send it off, then be prepared to wait)

      • Owgasm on 09/04/2019 - 09:00

        The wait isn’t a problem. Considering if we wanted instant photos, our digital cams would be the go :P

      • mr_me450 on 09/04/2019 - 09:05
        +4

        Depends where you live. There's a camera shop near me that processes them for $5 within an hour, so not really an issue. As Owgasm said though, if your main concern is getting photos instantly then there are plenty of other options.

        • Owgasm on 09/04/2019 - 10:05

          Where is your local?

          I’ve moved to Sydney and I’m assuming I have more options now.
          There was only one place I went to in Brisbane and they closed a few years before I left.

      • xaykogeki on 09/04/2019 - 09:32

        My local Big W does colour only and sends it away for a month. I can't remember the price but minimum $9.95.

        you get CD, prints and negative.

        For B&W, I used to do my own processing.

        • Owgasm on 09/04/2019 - 10:05

          Wow a whole month. I was assuming a few weeks.
          Makes it even more exciting I guess!

      • thecheapskate on 09/04/2019 - 16:36

        I get mine processed at Big W, $15 for develop and print (with cd or usb) for 36 exposures. Takes 14 business days as they send off site.
        Alternatively, Camera Warehouse seem to have a 4hr turnaround for $22.50 but don't know if that includes a soft copy of the photos.

      I'm extremely happy with Rewind Photo Lab in Sydney.

      • Owgasm on 09/04/2019 - 10:05

        How much do they charge for 24exposure?

        • chaoman01 on 09/04/2019 - 10:08
          +3

          Just Dev for $7.50, Dev + Scan for $13, Dev + Print for $15

          They have a loyalty card too, every 8th is free.

          • Owgasm on 09/04/2019 - 11:26

            @chaoman01: Great! How’s their turn over time?
            Dev and print sounds great!

              +2

              @Owgasm: I always just pick it up the next day so not too sure how much quicker they go than that. I like the vibe there too - it's a good middle ground between the dodgy big w and super expensive hipster wank.

    • HeyItsJono on 09/04/2019 - 13:19

      Sydney: Rewind
      QLD: Racquet
      Melbourne: Ikigai

      Usually around $7.5/roll, + shipping if you decide to ship to them rather than drop off in person. The real cost is getting your negatives scanned.

    This would be an excellent deal if the exposure is 36.
    ps: I grabbed 4 packs though I don't really have much time to spend on film shooting recently. To my hobby lol.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/04/2019 - 10:23

      For some reason they seem to have settled on 24. Stretching out every last cent I guess.

  • bargainfinder on 09/04/2019 - 09:10

    This id a "vintage" deal

  • diamondd on 09/04/2019 - 09:14

    4x36 exposures is only $17.98 on Amazon.com, is there anyway we can get at that?

  • godofpizza on 09/04/2019 - 09:17

    it would be better to buy black and white film as you can process it yourself using rodinal developer and get better grain. those big w kmart bulk developers will ruin your films or even scratch it and at 400 iso it going to be really grainy.

  • godofpizza on 09/04/2019 - 09:21
    +2

    better deal

    https://www.amazon.com.au/Fujifilm-Fujicolor-Color-Negative-…

    3 x 36 exp and lower iso @ $18.06

    • chaoman01 on 09/04/2019 - 09:41

      Nice, feedback though says people have only gotten one roll?

    • mr_me450 on 09/04/2019 - 09:49

      How is that a better deal? Both work out to be 16 cents per exposure and that one ships from the US rather than AU and requires a $50 spend for free postage even if you have prime?

      • phocus on 09/04/2019 - 12:14
        +2

        Because dev cost is usually per roll not per frame

  • Cheap Steve on 09/04/2019 - 09:39

    Simpler times. When a selfie took a week, 2 trips to the chemist and $11.50.

    • Owgasm on 09/04/2019 - 10:04

      Better times I’d say.

    • Charity on 12/04/2019 - 00:48

      Very few people back then were narcissistic enough to take a selfie, let alone an entire roll of selfies. lol

  • stwok on 09/04/2019 - 09:47

    i bought kodak film from kmart last year, dont think its was much more than this. used 2 of the 3 rolls, havent gotten any of them developed as i think there only a newsagency in the city that will develop (at a price without a hipstser tax) and i dont go into the city consecutively to drop off and pick up.

    • mr_me450 on 09/04/2019 - 09:53

      Not sure what you paid last year but my local K-Mart currently sells this for $25 rather than $12.

  • thegoon on 09/04/2019 - 09:49

    Showing $22.45 for me

    • missbeardy on 09/04/2019 - 09:55

      I am getting the same price as well.

    • mr_me450 on 09/04/2019 - 09:55

      The AU site is out of current stock so it is defaulting to a different seller. You can still choose the $12.27 price from Amazon AU but shipping is now reading as 1-2 months.

  • mr_me450 on 09/04/2019 - 10:01

    UPDATE The AU site is out of current stock so the link is defaulting to a different (more expensive) seller. You can still choose the $12.27 price from Amazon AU but shipping is now reading as 1-2 months. Ozbargained!

    I shot a lot on T-Max and loved it. I assume this is a newer version.

    Developing the film yourself is quite easy, but a bit expensive if you are only doing four.

      Tmax is bw. This is colour.

    If it was ISO 100, be all over it. Good price though.
    Hard part is how old is the stock? Thats why you buy in person.

    • abacus on 09/04/2019 - 10:47

      You would not see much difference beaten ISO 100 200 or 400. It's 2019 not 1980. And some photos can't be taken on ISO 100.

  • Cluster on 09/04/2019 - 10:31

  • abacus on 09/04/2019 - 20:06

    Buy film, test with Polaroid film or risk bad exposure, take the photo, send off to the lab, wait a week.. Or use digital. Plus if you are taking 1,000 photos = 1,000/24 = 42 rolls of film = $4.09 per roll = $172 for the film.

    • terrys on 10/04/2019 - 07:30
