Do any of you have the URL's for sites that sell good film (35mm) at reasonable prices. I have 2 Olympus OM-3 cameras that I purchased and used quite a bit in the 1970's. I've been thinking about digging them out and giving them another go.

Thank you so much,

Willard

You could contact Fred at The View Camera Store. I purchase all of my film from him. The 35mm I purchase in bulk (100') and roll my own. If you need cassettes, let me know. It's one of the most cost effective ways to purchase film. You can also purchase rolls of 35mm, as well. My recommendation is Ilford products. Anyway, you can reach Fred through:

http://www.viewcamerastore.com

Certainly feel free to mention my name.

B and H and Adorama also sell film. So does, https://www.digitaltruth.com/

Hi, there is a place called freestyle photo (https://www.freestylephoto.biz/) that sells 35 mm film. I have not purchased from them lately but 10-15 years ago they were a good source. I just looked at their website and they seem to have many b&w film sizes, speeds, and manufacturers available. I even saw some infrared film.

Good luck and happy shooting.
Howard

You have a couple of OM-3 bodies?
Not sure you know what you have, but this is the rarest of the OM line. Fewer made than any other OM body, and can be worth quite a bit.

By-the-way...B&H probably your best bet for film.

I buy from B&H. KEH also sells (new) film as does Amazon.

Freestyle in Los Angeles was the best when I was shooting film. They had the best prices and really great customer service. I recommend them very highly.

I sure do wish I had kept my Olympus OM2s (two bodies, several fine Olympus lenses)! Sold to KEH a few years ago. Didn't think I could ever find film and processing (not interested in lab work).

Good 'ol B&H and Adorama sell film. Free Style has stuff I've never heard of in the 1980's. But don't bother with discount out of date 35mm film. Would you test a new digital camera using a badly scratched lens or known defective memory card?
