Better get yours before Mike burns through it all! He has his own E6 line so developing is trivial for him at home, lucky devil. Yes, it keeps great in the deep freeze and Mike has already shot a bunch.
Not to worry, I still have everything I need, but no way was I going to shoot 170 rolls of 35mm Velvia.

Here's how I bought 120 and 220 film: 100-roll pro packs:įuji Velvia 50 in a 100-roll Pro Pack of 120 (I stuck some 220 in there to fill the box which was missing what I had already shot). These 5-roll packs are for smaller shooters there are 5 cans in each box but you have to shake them out the end rather than reaching into a big box from the top with the 20-roll packs. They were the best as you opened one carton and there were 20 easy-to-grab films in there, no little boxes in the way. I usually bought Velvia in 20-roll pro packs. Of course B&H has all you want for $34 a roll, new ( $170 per 5-roll pro pack).įuji Velvia 50 in 5-roll Pro Packs (only 100 rolls shown here). That's far less than the usual $20 a roll people pay on eBay for film with questionable storage history. I had no idea I had hoarded so much as I cleaned out three freezers! He's listed some of it at eBay for $99 a five-roll Pro Pack, and if you email Mike at, you can get them for $75 each pro-pack as Friends-of-Ken. Here's the good part: Mike has offered to handle selling off what neither of us need. I saved enough for my own use for all these formats, but I had so, so much extra that I was never going to shoot. 220 is critical for serious heavy shooting with my medium format cameras (hint: 220 vacuum backs for Contax 645 are cheap at eBay and they use a vacuum to keep film the flattest ever seen in any consumer application which you can't get in any other format other than 220, and A24 & E24 220 backs for Hasselblad are also really cheap at eBay), and of course 4×5" is critical for serious landscape photography. I had hundreds of rolls and sheets of 220 and 4×5" which aren't made anymore. Mike is keeping all the larger format film for his own use, but if you twist his arm he might part with some of it. He's going to shoot it all, except that I had at least 170 rolls of 35mm Velvia, and Mike doesn't need that much 35mm.
I put the word out, and luckily my friend Mike Ahmadi who lives just outside of Yosemite National Park wanted almost all of it. I bought enough to sustain myself pretty much forever at what was my current usage rate - back in 2010 when I still shot a lot of film because digital hadn't caught up.ĭigital became pretty good around 2012 when everything went to 24 MP, and I haven't shot much film ever since - but hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rolls and sheets of film were still in my deep freeze that I was never going to use. I was not going to let supply issues hamper my art. I bought all I'd ever need and immediately put it all into my deep freezer at 0✯ (-18º C), to be used as needed. Velvia was critical to getting my look as an artist and digital hadn't caught up.
