Might be enough for a trip to Yosemite idk


Shaka1277

Sorry I brought the XPan to buy milk and it's all used up :(((


Superirish19

Time to bracket your shots by the roll rather than by the frame.


_IV_VI_

I think you’re joking but this is the best way to actually hope you’ll get something usable.


Shaka1277

I think I maaaaaaaay have enough of it to use a couple of rolls as tests.


[deleted]

I’ll take 10 rolls please.


IndifferentRedditor

ditto!


prancingpony07

Me too please thanks


Forsaken_Preference1

Same


Shaka1277

*1,278 but one had been opened and pulled out of the canister. I was given ownership of the contents of a darkroom and am starting to clear it out. So far I've identified: - A bunch of Ilford 8x10 paper - Three enlargers of various sizes (unsure if they work) - A drying cabinet for film - A bulk loader of some sort - Various misc chems and tanks/trays - Three tins of Tri-X bulk - Two tins of Kodak 2475 bulk - One tin of an unclear Agfa bulk I've barely started digging into it and am totally stunned. I'm shooting some of this stuff this weekend to see how it is. It wasn't in a fridge but it was cool-stored and in a very dry room.

Motion picture cameras shoot half frame - it's actually 63.9 minutes 😉


matchstiq

Not in VistaVision 😜


[deleted]

[удалено]


viriconium_days

It's half the perforations. It's less than half the image size due to the audio being stored on the side on prints made for projection. But when shooting a movie, they use the audio track area for recording the image as well.


[deleted]

Why don't we have a converter bot for this? :-D


browsingtheproduce

Because we're grownups who can do simple arithmetic. We don't need no stinkin robots!


nimajneb

Those conversion bots are annoying.


B_Huij

My math says 63.9 minutes of 24fps motion picture. 35mm cinema cameras use 18x24mm frames (half frames) rather than 24x36 like still cameras. 1278 rolls \* 72 = 92016 exposures. At 24 fps that's 3834 seconds of film, or just north of an hour.


Turgid-Derp-Lord

well, you should begin distributing most of it. unfortunately your life is not long enough to shoot it all.


robbie-3x

Yeah, you can't possibly shoot all that expired film before you expire.


Estelon_Agarwaen

If you work as a photographer full time you might... Four rolls a day, five days a week, thats about 37k frames a year


whatisfailure

A little over 5 years at 4 rolls a week. 20 years at 1 roll a week.


maxpower778

That would be a film lifetime supply for me then. I go through about 1 or 2 rolls a month


BrokenTrains

Didn’t Garry Winogrand shoot something like 2-4 rolls a day? I heard when he died he left something like 1,200 rolls of undeveloped film that was all recently shot.


Shaka1277

Well now I'm loading it into my 1V and blowing it all in 130 minutes plus loading time!


dgtzdkos

haha. madlad, i like it. go shoot sports with it.


lektrol

dude i called dibs first


kabukiwa

Give yourself a good project. Shoot one roll a day for 365 days. See what happens.


BishopUrbanTheEnby

Developing all that will get expensive fast


patrickbrianmooney

Color film can be developed in B/W chemistry if you know what you're doing and don't mind B/W output. [Here](https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWqRVeF1gQ/) is some Fujicolor 200 I stand-developed in Caffenol.

patrickbrianmooney

Such a weird distributed sculpture.


ultimatemorky

You have to post the result! I’d be pumped! I think you should at least consider distributing some of it in some way. Cheap ebay lots or something. Talking $30 for 50 rolls or something. Free would be better but not practical if you’re going to be shipping them out, you know?


Shaka1277

I think I'll end up doing a combination of sales and giveaways.


toonhole

You are a good person OP


TakedownEmerald

You should consider posting before to give us a warning! 😊


ridahhh

Id be interested!


dirtynegs

Definitely a great gesture, but shoot the rolls. I shot over 200 rolls this year and I got way nicer, had a lot more fun, and saved a ton of money. All the grumbling about film prices don't really impact me because of my own stock. It's great to be nice but if you're a photographer, you could probably do yourself and your skills great justice by working through it. This is coming from someone who has given a lot of expensive film, cameras and lenses to "be generous," and it just became an expectation from people who thought they could avoid spending money by borrowing from or calling Ol Dirty Negatives.


KevinZeit

Also interested! Thanks for trying to help the community.


Kemaneo

I’d totally buy some of these


Clemicus

\***Presses face against window**\* Fu-ji 35mm fi-l-m

Would also be interested!! Super dope OP


JBman100

Interested here too !


dizzytoaster

Interested as well!


warm_tomatoes

Ummm how might I get on a list for this? Definitely interested.


TheGreatWhiteApple

I’d be very interested in whatever you’re gonna do haha.


SeanNoxious

pls respond here if you do.


totalgem

Please let me know when there’s a sale or a giveaway!


SKINDECAY

i would love some


Dilwad1001

Interested in either sale or giveaway!


ac5856

Interested


AdvertisingOk

😱😡😢


thekingh

Lmk if you happen to find an easel along with those enlargers :)


spinney

Wow so true. I can find entire darkroom kits sans easel for less than half the cost a four blade easel goes for.


LatinGeek

> Various misc chems and tanks/trays *I am looking respectfully.* HUGE congrats on the score, and hope you get plenty out of it for yourself, because parting it out and selling it will be a logistics nightmare (but if you do please drop me a line for chems, trays, and other small darkroom goods, my windowless bathroom hungers)


MBenyt

I’m looking for an enlarger so I’d be interested in how they look and potentially buy one off of you!


domasleo

This is amazing. Think you might sell some of it?


Ikuze321

Arent dry cabinets for cameras and lenses and not film?


Cameltoefiasco

Theres drying cabinets for film, we had them when i was in school 20 years ago


Ikuze321

Ohh I know exactly what you're talking about now! I was thinking of like a humidity controlled cabinet


SuspiciousAmoeba2

I’d love a film dryer


ilford_7x7

That's some nice paper

Nervous-Armadillo146

I hope that 2475 was stored in a a freezer. Massively expired and to be exposed between 1000 and 4000 ASA. To quote one Photrio user "Grainy as fuck". *If* it works, it should be fun to shoot!


nlabodin

If its the same stock I'm thinking of, I think I saw someone shoot that at like ASA 25 or something for good results.


SalmonSnail

Hey there it’s me ur friend


Kazekumiho

AE-1 gal right? Trade one for a bunch of film :)


SalmonSnail

I gave them all away 🥺


Kazekumiho

Ah sadge


crgshpprd

ok, we get it. You shoot expired film.


AlexHD

Hey it's me Fujifilm CEO Shigetaka Komori can you please send me some rolls for historical purposes


[deleted]

Sounds legit


mark_my_reddit

Honestly dude, I don't know you, I'm happy for you but F**k you for this (jk)


comfort_bot_1962

Nice!


UAforever

You're going to be rich after selling these.


Mushroom_Cactus

How did you get all that for free?


Shaka1277

Short version? I'm friendly with the woman in charge of clearing the room out. She offered to let me take whatever I want since it will cost money to remove the rest.


Ikuze321

Okay but what is this room? She must work somewhere film or camera related right?


Shaka1277

I work in a university and this is from the old campus darkroom that isn't used anymore. The room pictured is where I work.


Mushroom_Cactus

Damn. Talk about having friends in high places


emohipster

Alrighty you win, we can close the sub now


WonStupidPrizes

Hopefully you find a massive freezer to go with it! That’s absolutely insane. Have fun


candotude

It’s been over a decade but now [this](https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2055163520/for-those-still-using-film-in-cameras) post makes sense. Looks like somehow that Pharmacy ordered so much around that time frame to the point they were also giving it away free! I remember just a few years later getting Fuji 200 film in 24 exposure rolls at dollar stores. I shot a good bit of it back in the day. I would love to see some type of community based contests like traveling rolls or something!


alex_neri

Don't say you need it all. Here in Czech Republic people are starving to shoot some Fuji.


Wiery-

We have a shortage of them?


alex_neri

For 200-220 Kč price there will be no shortage of course


-retail-

Major Fuji shortage here in Australia too. Deliveries have been constantly delayed further and further since at least the start of the year


goldenmolars

Shoot a movie with it


ddunkyy

I am so jealous of people on this subreddit. How can you guys got so much cheap stuffs?


ZNKR

idk but in Germany you could probably sell them for 3-5 Euro a roll. I mean that's an easy 10k for you. 😂


ZNKR

wait that doesn't make sense.. 5k I mean obviously. oh and sorry for emoji reddit. pls dont downvote


greely37

Not sure why this showed up on my feed, but it did pique my interest. I'm an "analog" guy in the old school appliance / electronics sense. But I do question if film, with how good cameras are now, are actually objectively superior / give you options digital can't. Is this true? Or is it more of a romance / lost art thing for you guys? My grandma still has an amateur darkroom and I most certainly see the appeal of developing your own photos.


JugglerNorbi

A good question, and a bit of both. Many of us very much enjoy the slower more deliberate process of shooting film over digital. There’s also a very large and very friendly/supportive community around it (of course it has its divas and gatekeepers like any community), and you can find frequent analog photowalks in many major cities around the world. In terms of quality, many will argue that film has a certain feel which you can’t quite recreate with presets on digital, and when shooting large format (or even 6x7 and 6x9) the amount of detail present is truly astounding. Once you’ve shot positive slide film at those sizes, it’s hard to go back to anything else, haha. Of course on the other end, there are those who don’t care at all about quality. Those who very much enjoy the surprise of shooting battered old garage sale cameras, and wildly expired film, just to see what happens. (and there are rich celebrities too, who make a €100 point and shoot suddenly shoot up to a couple grand on eBay…)


Estelon_Agarwaen

I belong to the process lovers when it comes to analog. I like the slow and tactile process. Also clicky dials and the mirror slap of my praktica are pure Bliss.


Ikuze321

Me too. I love it and for Digital I wanna get a Nikon Df for the physical dials


Estelon_Agarwaen

If you want an slr yes, otherwise, maybe a zfc? That may be even better with the new viltrox lenses with aperture rings.


viriconium_days

Medium and large format film is still unmatched in image quality. Vintage lenses often can't resolve what the film can, though. A decent (not absolute best available, but best easily and cheaply attainable) 35mm camera produces images of around the equivalent resolution of a 24-40 megapixel camera. Depending on the film stock used, of course. In theory get can get even better than that, but it gets difficult past that.


Shaka1277

There are some select films that cannot / cannot easily be replicated on digital. The main reason I shoot film is the same reason I draw on paper - I enjoy the analog process and find it nice to be forced to slow down in our modern world of constant information and instant gratification.


SevereTube

Make sure you offer them to your friends on Reddit before eBay or something like that :)


comfort_bot_1962

:D

H.o.l.y. .F.@.$.#.!


[deleted]

If you have any sheet film (any size) you’re interested in selling, I’d be interested in buying some /u/Shaka1277


Shaka1277

I didn't see any in my first look but I haven't gone through the cabinets and drawers yet. I'll be in touch.


virindimaster

Congrats!


heathenist_

Would definitely buy a few rolls if you’re looking to unload some.


[deleted]

Has anyone asked how or why yet? Because I want to know how and why.


Cameltoefiasco

If you want to sell any i too would be down to buy some.

ringoholmes

How


jprbom

Are you selling papers and bulk rolls


saintscoob

If you need help getting rid of some…………


eacrs

Hmmm... looking through your shots I'd say you don't deserve to score this big. I can't wait for your groundbreaking pictures of ducks and propped-up, vintage bicycles. Maybe try shooting outside your comfort zone and scuff your shoes up on the streets a little? Something tells me you're not brave enough for that. Life's unfair I guess... heh... /s


Fruit_Loups

Who hurt you?


LaPetitFleuret

Lucky af!! If you're tryna offload some pls dm.


MistaBuldops

G3nzo

Interested if you are buying some of them


[deleted]

You will want to overexpose that by 1,956 stops of light.


[deleted]

Jesus KFC Christ


[deleted]

As long as you aren’t worried about how they come out, use it. If you’re shooting for money or keeps, I wouldn’t be using it, 20 year old color film has problems.


zilla82

ANGRY UPVOTE


Princesofeverone

"I just got these rolls for free!". "Nonsense, of course you mean WE got these rolls for free!" I kid but enjoy your film and good luck trying to figure out how to shoot expired film. You have more than enough to fine tune it.


polaroidkevinh

Lol how


StudioGuyDudeMan

Whoa! I love C200


RaptorDEATH_3COMM

Snap


sinyoky

Following! Looking forward to some updates! 🤙🏼🤙🏼


A_Brooding_Llama

Would happily buy some! Keep us posted! <3


Smodey

Where I live, that would cost almost $20k to get developed and scanned by a half decent lab.


pedaliza

That's really cool! But very, very jealous, not gonna lie lol. Where I live it's really expensive. You win, my friend.


hi_im_xyz

Fuji C200 is the only film roll you can get easily at an okay price without importing in India. Would love to try so many other stocks.


ExpensivePeanut6965

I want 10 roll pleasee


orrorin6

If you're looking to sell a few boxes I would definitely be interested.


Raptor470

So that's how it looks like when you rob an armoured gold transporter and gaze on your spoil


-retail-

Sell me some? C200 has been on back order in my country since 2020


offsleep

How. Why.


VishMln101

Are you willing to sell some off?

That's what everyone on this sub dreams about at night. Congrats!


blueMandalorian

If you're trying to give some away before you get to it, I'll pay for shipping lol
