An outfit called Analog Wonder Box has started a subscription film service that sends out six rolls of different film every two months to expand your analog experience. Here is a link to their site:

This is more geared to the beginners in film photography. Old, experienced film photographers, myself included, who have over 40+ years experience shooting film, tried almost every film available, at the time, until they found what they liked and stuck with it. This is a way to work with a film you like and concentrate on making it better. If I shoot film, I want to know the outcome before I click the shutter.

My pleasure. Even grizzled old analog aficionados might have fun experimenting with different films. Variety can put some spice in the darkroom. It does for me.

The biggest deterrent for me is the fact it comes from Britain. Indications are that the shipping will be tacked on for subscribers in the USA. Now if a US company began doing something like this, I could be tempted. I shot film for many years but did not experiment much with it and shot several rolls of Kodachrome because sometimes that was all I could get aboard ship. When I became a civilian again I stuck with Kodacolor or other C-41 processed film.

I have a few rolls of C-41 film but have not shot any for quite a few years. I would enjoy film if local processing was available for reasonable cost. Alas, living in a small town is a problem.

Local processing is a thing of the past. However there are several large photo Labs across the country that process film. They do good work and provide a good service. You get your negatives back and you can opt to for scanned images or prints or both. If you think you would enjoy shooting some film why not shoot A couple of those rolls and give one of the labs a try? What do you have to lose?
