DFW: Where to buy 120/220 pro film? - 03-25-2009, 05:30 PM


Specifically transparency film like Kodak E100G and Fuji Astia 100F. I would also like to pick up some B&W stock. Perhaps Kodak Plus-X 125 or T-Max 100.

I need to put some through my new toy before I go out and buy a digital back

I second Barron Photografix (817-348-8080). That's where I used to buy all of my mf film.

If local sources don't do it for you:

Freestyle Photo. GOOGLE knows.
Does Kodak still make Plus-X in 120? I sure hope so. I'm going through my old negatives and the Plus-X negatives are the best.
That said, Fuji Neopan 100 Acros could make a person forget Plus-X.
Kodak New Tmax 400 (TMY-2) could make a person forget ASA (ISO) 100 film all together.
Kodak Ektar 100 in 120 is coming. Soon.
Efke 25 is very interesting. Arista.EDU Ultra 200 (exposed at 100) is nice too. Both from Freestyle.

Good luck!

While I will drive to Fort Worth, something on the D side of D/FW would be preferred

I've seen some film at Dallas Camera and Light Tech. Any other suggestions?

If I knew anything about the D side of DFW I would share. Seriously, if you can't find anything closer, give Perry a call anyway. She might be willing to take a cc and mail it to you. Gotta love family owned businesses!

Definitely spend money with a family owned business before going to Al Gore's Internet.

you could go to the Kodak Pro website and find out from there where they have registered processors for the film and I think they list where you can buy the products.

Nobody has transparency film in 120/220 in the Dallas area. Trust me, I tried.

I did buy some print film at Dallas Camera. Portra 160NC & T-Max 100.

Shot one roll of the color in the studio last night. New Epson V-700 scanner arrives on Monday

Good for you! I suppose somebody in the DFW area is still running a 120 C-41 line?

Wassssssssup with the price of Epson V700-V750 scanners? I've gotten two deep discount coupons this week. One from the Epson Refurb shop and one from Amazon. Are they not selling? Are they trying to clear out inventory before the next model is announced?

I will most likely take this roll to BWC for processing. I've been using them for 35mm stuff and they seem to know what they're doing. I'm open to suggestions though...

Don't know about the Epson roadmap. I bought a refurbished unit from Epson directly. Nice price :-). Perhaps they are even getting out of that market? Hmmmmm.
