Super 8 film stock - any cheap alternatives to Kod

[npp]

Hi. Looking for alternatives to Kodak. I know about the custom packed FOMA brand - anything else out there that is CHEAP?

Do you know the name of the place in Arlington, VA? I don't want to have to call every photo developing lab in the area. I'm curious to who supplies their stock.

Thanks!

Kodak really is the best deal. Rarely have I found it cheaper through a reseller. The other thing is that they do give a very good student discount if you can get it. Stay away from the Russian stuff it does not seem to work well at least in my camera.

I'm not looking for high quality. I just want something that I can afford to waste. I'm planning on doing some heavy expirementation with home processing.

i agree, Kodak sounds like your best bet, even if you end up trashing it. You can get a cartridge of TriX for under ten bucks, and if you can get a student discount it's another 20% i believe, go with Kodak.

its BONO FILM AND VIDEO ...they're very well known around the area......been around for awhile too..
i like them because of the fact they dont have a minimum order like Kodak does

I process my own film and I go straight to Kodak and I get the 20% off too. I can get it for about 7 dollars a roll. That is for Tri-X and Plus-X. The only other thing to do is see if you can find some really old stuff at a garage sale or something. I have processed film that was over 25 years old and it looked fine for B/W.
