Where to buy bulk film...

Where can I buy bulk film rolls? I'm looking for a large quantity as some friends want to make a little syndicate, we're particularly interested in Ilford.

AG Photographic do packs of 10, you could always email and ask if they can supply larger quantities with more of a discount.

Assuming you mean photographic film!

The online flea market looks to be good value for bulk quantities of photographic film.

Contact film companies maybe? Depends if your version of bulk matches theirs I suppose though...

I'd try the photography forum. Failing that have an ask around on www.talkphotography.co.uk

Thanks guys I'm looking for around 100 rolls. I don't know whether this is a lot or very little tbh. I just wonder where the little high street stores get their film.

May I just say that you have the most amazing sig I have ever seen. Seriously. It makes me want a Mexan hat.

A syndicate? You mean you want to get into selling film, or you have several mates who are interested in film photography?
