Free 35mm film to whomever wants it

Post by The Annoyed Man »

If any of you are still into 35mm film cameras, I've got the following six rolls of unused 35mm color print film free for the taker. If you're not local to me, you pay me for postage to send them to you. Otherwise, meet me somewhere for the handover. Interested party takes all or none. Too much trouble to parcel them out to multiple people.....but hey, free is free:
  • 3 rolls Kadak Max ASA 400 color print film, 24 exposure
  • 1 roll Kodak Gold ASA 200 color print film, 24 exposure
  • 1 roll Konica Centuria Super ASA 200 color print film, 36 exposure
  • 1 roll Fujicolor Superia Extra ASA 400 color print film, 24 exposure
These are OLD rolls of film. They have been stored inside their sealable plastic film cans, in a box, in a closet, but there is NO guarantee if they are still usable.....but again, they are FREE.

PM me if interested.
Kodak MAX ASA 400 (3 Rolls)
Kodak MAX ASA 400 (3 Rolls)
Kodak Max ASA 200 (1 Roll)

Konica ASA 200 (1 Roll)

Velvia Ectachrome slide film and I would be all over this.

Print film sorry.

I paid $75 dollars last year on eBay for 25 four by five Velvia quick load sheets. It was 3 years out of date.

Your prints, negatives and slides most likely will survive North Koreas first EMP against us, but not your digital photos. They are as permanent as your next hard drive crash.

There is something magical about holding a perfectly exposed transparency. Something that digital can't give you.

Film...what's film? says the guy who worked for Kodak after getting out of the Navy....If you dropped your film off at Albertsons or Target or Randall's anywhere in Texas or Oklahoma, we developed it... 30,000 rolls a night back in '92... Wish we had CHL back then for when i got off the 8pm to 5am shift... :shock:

Oh yes we had a special sticker for that... RECEIVED DAMAGED... :lol:

Actually considering the volume, we had a pretty low error rate...we almost never damaged an entire roll. Sometimes bad sprockets on the film caused it to roll off the processor machine requiring a dipping of arms into the chemicals...in complete darkness of course.

Okay. Big-time geekdom.

In high school, I was president of the photography club. Learned to work in a darkroom, vary solutions and times, and burn and dodge prints as they developed. Ansel Adams, I was.

That was many, many years ago.

I've offered curryman another three roles of indigenous Kodak 400 Max. Somebody with a darkroom deserves as much retro film as he can get.

Fast-forward several decades, and I'm a Photoshop/Illustrator nerd. Don't know how this happened. For photographs, I still kinda wish I had a darkroom.

Learned how to develop film in grade school in the early 70s then graduated to Yearbook photographer in High School. I could correct under/ over exposed film if i knew in advance by adjusting chemistry and temperature. Before i left for college and the Navy almost perfected the art of creating a North Carolina drivers license. Probably good that I didn't. :lol:

Don't forget the joys of getting the exposed film out of the canister and into the developing tank... All by feel inside that little black bag. :lol:

Only if you drill a film hole next to the headphone jack hole you drilled.
