If you're not sure where to start, an ISO 400 colour negative film is the safest choice in Britain: it handles overcast days, indoor light and evening shots without a tripod. ISO 100 and 200 stocks are finer-grained and better suited to bright, sunny days or tripod work.
Professional colour stocks like Ektar 100 and the Ektacolor Pro range give cleaner scans, finer grain and more accurate skin tones — worth it for portraits, weddings and landscape work where you'll print big.
Black and white film is developed differently to colour (and slide film differently again), so check the process before you buy: C-41 for colour negative, traditional B&W chemistry for Tri-X and Ektapan, and E-6 for Ektachrome slide film. We run all three.
A 36-exposure roll gives you the best cost per frame. Multi-packs bring the per-roll price down further, and film keeps well for months in the fridge.
Shot the roll? Post it back for developing and scanning or drop it into the store — see our developing prices.
