The true cost of film

When comparing film stocks, remember to include development and scanning costs. A cheaper roll may not be cheaper per frame once you factor in lab costs.

Ways to save

  • • Self-develop B&W (£0.50-1 per roll)
  • • Bulk load 35mm from 100ft rolls
  • • Scan at home with a DSLR or flatbed
  • • Buy expired or short-dated film
