Increase in price for Kodak Films
- Thread starter SeAnCoLd
- Start date
Head to Triple D within these 2 days and you might still be able to buy at $12 as the increment is only effective 1st Nov the last I checked. They did change the price tag on the shelves to new price already.
Ruby totally no stock so when new stock arrives, confirm is at increased pricing.
Other shops like Konota and Cathay all no longer sell Portra.
In the long run, consumers have no choice but to continue to support these shops even with the increased pricing. The last thing we want is they all go out of business and there's no other avenue for us to do C-41 development locally.

Not that I know of, maybe others can advise. I know many do bulk order from overseas but the savings is not really that huge in my opinion, mainly due to shipping cost....that's why I rather buy locally. Unless you buy by container load....then the savings might be substantial.
We are already more fortunate than our neighbours up north. Other than price, the availability of Portra there is an even bigger issue. I heard many actually have to buy from Singapore and bring them back to cold store...

Amazon lor. As long as you order above US$125 (iirc), free shipping to SG.
The ones I saw don't ship to Singapore. Link please?

Seancold, sometimes Amazon stocks their own portra and sells directly. That's why the price is 36 USD. I think they haven't replenished inventory so you'll need to wait.
The Portra currently listed is from a 3rd party seller which isn't applicable for the 125 USD free shipping.

I see. Ok. A little waiting then. Thanks for the reply!
By the way, any issues with shipping the film? X-ray scanners and all? I've shipped some FP-100C before and they seemed unaffected. No experience with negatives though

Bro you click on more options, still at same price for the ones sold by Amazon. This price is sold by external party.
I just came back from Bangkok. Portra 400 is only $8.15 per roll after conversion. Snapped up quite a few packs maxing out what my carry on can take.
You're right! Silly me
Wow... That's really cheap. $5+ savings per roll.
Must head there for a holiday after using up my stash. Freezer's half filled with film already :bsmilie:

Yup i thought i saw the price wrongly and i have to triple check to confirm that its not miscommunication. It's THB$1050 for packs of 5, and readily available in lots of places. Quite envious of the Thais haha.
