Another classic company getting a mention now; L G P. Still with us, though not a shop anymore, mail order only. Got their list today which has some very fairly priced Super 8 , Standard 8 and 16 mm films on. Larry Pearce (the owner, hence the initials of the company) usually posts out by return. Get in touch with them for their lists; 020 8421 3666. Larry supplies all types of leader at VERY reasonable prices too. I think it's worth giving such ventures a mention on here. Could help someone too. I remember getting my first Super 8 sound projector from them, back in the day. A Eumig 912GL!

Excellent, thanks for that, always after new lists and new dealers, how many are there now, we all know of the big four, Derann, Paul Foster, Classis and Perrys but i'm sure there are many i miss.

Independent 8 for a start. We do have most of the dealers listed on the super 8 links page of bfcc.biz.

Talk about good service. Ordered a film last thing on Tuesday. It arrived this morning (Thursday). Fantastic...and with some free pens included too. Worth supporting. Yes I know there are other companies we all use, but nice to give a mention to the smaller companies.
P. S. The film was Fantasia's Dance of The Hours...great print!
