About This Film Price Tracker

If you’ve been shooting film for a while, you’ve probably noticed how expensive it’s gotten. It feels like just yesterday that film was reasonably priced, but now the cost has shot up, and prices are all over the place depending on where you shop. Sometimes, the same roll of film is twice as expensive at one store compared to another. It’s frustrating, to say the least.

What’s even more annoying is how one major company(who shall remain un-named) seems to have a near monopoly on certain film types. Between that and some pretty shady distribution tactics, it’s become harder than ever to find film at a fair price. As someone who loves shooting film, I got tired of spending way too much time (and money) hunting for the best deals.

That’s why I built this Film Price Tracker. It’s a simple tool that compares prices from multiple sellers, so you can find the cheapest film without all the hassle. Whether you’re into 35mm, 120 medium format, or instant film, (120 and instant coming soon!) this tracker does the heavy lifting for you, showing you the best prices in one place.

I made this because I wanted to spend less time bargain-hunting and more time shooting. If you’re like me and love film photography but hate overpaying for it, this tool is for you. It keeps track of prices from various retailers and updates regularly, helping you spot the best deals when they’re available.

The goal is simple: make film photography more affordable and accessible. Check back often, as prices can change frequently. I hope this helps you save a few bucks – and keeps you shooting film without breaking the bank.

Thanks for checking it out! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the project – good or bad. I’m always looking to improve, so your feedback is truly appreciated.
