For buying film the two companies mentioned above are excellent. I like to go to Silverprint in person as it makes me feel like a ten year old in a sweet shop.
For developing and printing The Darkroom UK and Peak Imaging are both excellent, if not cheap.
Some Fuji slide films come processed paid.

Just noticed this comment a year later... The K20D exposure is fine with DA lenses, but erratic with M and earlier lenses. Erratic is not really the right word as I could plot little graphs showing how it changes over the aperture range. It often over-exposes with these earlier lenses, not under-exposes. This is all fairly well documented on the web. I tend to use my manual lenses on static subjects and adjust the exposure using the histogram.womble wrote:

The K20D (I notice in your sig you have one) is known to underexpose though, not sure that can be blamed on the lens My "new" M 100m f/2.8 seems to be consistently about two stops under.

I have heard that the K5 and K7 are better at this. It would be nice to know as I am not about to replace my collection of M42/K/M series lenses with A series ones, it would cost a fortune (and some have no equivalent anyway).

I remember when I first used XP2 - still blows me away. Don't worry about exposure, just press the button and it always seems to work. Quite astounding.
I took photos of my school play back in the early 80s using XP1 at 1600ASA. I was very pleased with the results! The Kodak BW400CN is very similar and I have had nice results with it. It tends to be a little cheaper and easier to find. Boots often stock it, for example.I remember when I first used XP2 - still blows me away.

No TRI-X?
A classic film I have used in the past but I wanted to try out some things I'd never used before like the Rollei retro. I had horrible problems with Tri-X fogging in airport x-rays. No TRI-X?

Personally I like to go to Calumet, just because I know they keep it in the fridge!
