Film
Yes we do stock film. While the world rapidly adopts digital photography, there are still photographers (including those of us at the store) who use film. So for you we carry a wide variety 35mm films (both consumer and professional grade) from Kodak and FujiFilm - B&W, color negative and color slide. We do stock some medium format (120/220) color and B&W films, but as the demand decreases these will need to be special ordered.

Choosing Film
Film Speed (expressed as ISO or ASA) varies from about 100 to 3200. The higher the film speed (larger number) the faster the film, the better it is for low light or action photography. However, higher speed films tend to exhibit more grain when printed. For small prints (4x6, 5x7) the grain will not be very noticeable with most films below ISO 1000. For enlargements such as 8x10 or 10x15, grain can be a factor, but graininess can also be used as an artistic effect. So pick your film with these factors in mind.

 
Digital Media and Print Supplies
We stock all types of digital camera cards in a variety of sizes from companies such as Delkin, Lexar, FujiFilm, and Olympus. These include SmartMedia, CompactFlash, SD, xD, Memory Stick (including Duo & Pro), and Mini-SD. We also stock CDs, CD-RWs, Archival Gold CDs, DVDs, DVD-RWs, USB jump drives, and card readers capable of reading more than one type of card.

Want to print some of your images? We carry supplies for the Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock as well as the Galerie line of inkjet papers from Ilford. For more creative projects we carry digital photo postcards, digital photocards, and calendar kits from Strathmore. The card kits come in canvas and parchment finishes. In addition we have the Museo Artist Card kits from Crane.
