I have decided to dust off the ME Super, and take some shots.

Having just paid £3.65 for a roll of fujifilm superia 200 24 exposures thought I would ask where I may get some deals on film??

Strangely, Jessops!
I don't know if they still have the offer on, but they were doing a 3 for 2, and that includes boxes of film. Also, have a look at 7dayshop.com, and ag-photographic.co.uk

Mailshots, Mathers, 7DayShop. They usually have decent prices. Mailshots often have lower prices but charge for delivery, so better for larger amounts.

Boots usually have an unadvertised 3 for 2 offer on film. I get my Kodak BW400CN there. Otherwise, 7dayshop or Silverprint. Avoid the Lomography store, terribly over-priced.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Agreed, but it's the only place for 110 cartridges.

Check out the pound lands, some still have Kodak somethingor other at, yes, £1!

If you're going to go B&W then drop me a line and I'll send a link for Fomapan, an interesting film for home developing.
Cheers, HG

K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

How much does development cost in Boots these days? I pay four euros for development only, I'm fairly happy with that.

Not sure about Boots, but Jessops was £8.00!
