Recently a friend of mine gave me a five roll pack of Kodak Portra 400NC
120 expired in 2004.
Out of curiosity, I shoot the film and developed at home. I bought a 1
liter C41 Tetenal Colortec negative kit. It yields up to 16 rolls of 120 or
35mm film. The cost of developing is about 2€ by roll, very reasonable.
Regards,
Javier

I imagine inflation is on all our minds these days what with current
events. I just watched a Youtube video about the increasing popularity of
film photography among young people but bemoaning the price of film. It’s
actually been awhile since I bought any film since I stocked up over the
years and my freezer holds about 130 rolls of 35mm, 120 and even a few
rolls of 220. I did check current prices online and it was indeed shocking
to find color films $15 to $20 a roll and B&W $10 a roll. I did a quick
calculation and it seem my modest supply is worth near $2000 USD!
Development is also increasing. Including postage it is close to $10 a roll
for color.
I think my future purchases will be B&W and I can develop that myself.
