European shop with reasonably priced acetate leader film?
European shop with reasonably priced acetate leader film?
I'm looking to buy reasonably priced Super 8 acetate leader film in Europe. People are telling me it's not being produced anymore and I refuse to pay €1 per meter (when buying a 500ft spool, lower quantities are even more expensive!!!). It's cheaper to buy expired film than leader film this way.
Any help will be appreciated.
Yeah, already was there but unfortunately shipping and extra added taxes make it way more expensive. Hence the question for a supplier in Europe.
But I appreciate the link.
Thanks Mike
Again, postage and VAT make a total of €27 for 15 meters of film. Seems like here in Europe the best way is indeed to buy expired film and use that as leader.
Thanks for the effort of posting all the links Joerg!
There are some interesting auctions included which I've put in my watch list.
However most prices for the film are above €1 per meter.
I've checked Hollywood Film Supplies again and have ordered 1000ft white acetate.
That way, if people need it they can just contact me and get it for a decent price.
