  Where to buy 35mm film? Hi there, Londoners of Reddit! I'm going to be visiting London for the first time in two weeks (also my first solo trip!), and I'll be staying for 4 days. I've been searching on Google trying to find camera stores that still sell 35mm film in the city, but all I've found is a Lomography store. Does anyone know of any other stores that sell 35mm film?

  Eyeculture (https://www.eyeculture.co.uk/) usually have a great selection of film, they usually stock Portra when I call. They also do scanning and printing, and generally seem like they know what they're doing. Near Bethnal Green. Awhile back I bought some Velvia (they had 50 and 100) and Portra 400 here: https://www.lcegroup.co.uk/ Nice wide selection of film! Near Charing Cross.

  There’s a chain called Snappy Snaps and almost every store I’ve been to in London sells film, a decent range too depending on what you like. Google their locations, there’s a lot around the city especially around central so shouldn’t be to hard to find. There’s also a few stands around Camden market, although they only seem to sell 200s such as Kodak Colour Plus. London Camera Exchange on the strand is very good too, as well as a few other camera shops in other areas. I can’t remember what they’re called though. I’m sure if you google ‘London camera shop’ you will find them. Last place I can think of is Sendean cameras in Clerkenwell. I often spend my days wandering London with my camera and if I happen to run out of film I’ve never had difficulty finding a place nearby that sells some.

  Agena D. asked:

  Could you recommend a non-professional camera good enough to make photos at Empire? I was using an old Olympus camedia at Maelstrom, but it took ages to get ready to take photos from turning it on (by which time the person I wanted to photograph was already away) and didn't really do well even during a cloudy day, not to mention inside or at night without a flash. Then moved to a Nikon coolpix S8000 for Empire thinking it will be good enough for my needs but it is still a bit slow, the photos are a bit fuzzy despite it's internal shake suppressing thingy and photos without flash in less than thin cloud coverage still come out a bit meh. Either I'm using it wrong or it is just not good enough for my liking. I want something which turns itself on and is ready to take photos quickly, has good autofocus so I don't have to fiddle with it and break people's immersion, takes nice sharp photos in twilight and indoors without a flash, but also has the macro option for photographing details of kit or the like. And size wise not big would be a plus. Is there anything like that out there in a reasonable price?

  I asked a similar question about a year ago on here and for me it came down to either a Nikon or Canon dslr. In the end i opted for a new Canon 1100D as I got it very very cheap but nearly got a second hand 60D. I've now got several lenses (which will work when i later upgrade my camera) but my favourite is the 50 mm. All the camera and lense you'll likely need. HOWEVER it's not the smallest camera. A photographer friend of mine also highly rates the Canon G15 and a deal was recently on the HotUKDeals site linking to here http://www.lcegroup.co.uk/.../Canon%2DPOWERSHOT%2DG15...
