tvih Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I have been wondering what's happened to 220 film. Seems like it can't be found with any ease even from online stores that have a quite complete 135- and 120-size film lineup. So, I'm wondering if anyone knows any good places, online or in Finland, to get any film of that size? The reason I'm asking is that I'd get more frames for the same processing cost - as far as I know, they can be developed on the same labs that can develop 120 too, and my SL66 backs should be able to take 220 as well.

tvih Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hmm... well, I guess Fimeko, and maybe other shops too can at least order it, if you specially ask for it. I'll have to ask around some, since their webpage doesn't give any specifics on what they have. Thanks for all the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapparn Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Teppo, have you tried Dialab at S�rn䩮en? I think that I have seen there some 220 films not long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper8168 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 What film? I may be in Finland (Turku) in about 9 days and if so will be bringing a bunch of 220 with me. I usually bring loads of NPH, 400UC and Tri-X (mostly NPH). Won't hurt to bring a little extra if I come, but won't know for sure for a few days. I get mine from Samy's in LA and B&H if I have time, so you can check prices there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Well, there'd be a few types of film, like Tri-X, Velvia and Provia that I'm interested in, and also in 120-size since the prices there are quite a bit cheaper. Too bad I'm so darn far away from Turku though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_beckmann Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 The main advantage of 220 film is that you don't have to change film that often. I ordered a lot of 220 film from Robert White in the UK. They carry Fuji Film, but the 220 films are not in their price list. I have ordered entire cartons (100 rolls per carton), and the were happy to sell to me any Fuji Film I wanted. I wouldn't count on them selling you a 5-pack or two because they might not have that in stock and I think they can only order entire cartons from Fuji UK. I have also ordered 220 film from Nordfoto in Germany in the past. I think they are the best film supplier in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Ah, Nordfoto seems to have a nice selection of films at a nice price. Will have to take a close look, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
