WHILE digital imaging is this blog's main theme, film is still fun. Sadly, though, at the shop under the big blue banner, where I work, most Fuji film, such as Superia 200 and 400, seems to be unavailable.
Customer's who have remained loyal for years are being told: "We have not seen five packs of Fuji film for ages." Although film sales are dwindling, most days at least 40 films are taken in for processing. That's at one small shop, repeated many times around the country it means developing and processing still represents big business.
Some firms, such as internet retailler: www.7dayshop.com (Channel Islands) are gaining new customers. Despite many dire warnings on sites such as grumbletext, I tested the water with an order for 5 x 200 and 5 x 400 Fuji Superia from this company. What an excellent service, £14.95 for 10 films including postage is almost unbelievable.
