Ok, this post contains things other than Black Friday deals, perhaps not even discounted. The purpose of this blog is to share resources for film photography, not to promote sales. That said, MiNT Camera is offering a 10% reduction on a select set of camera packages, offer expires November 29th. This vendor does not usually offer discounts at all, except to VIPs - those whom have already purchased a MiNT camera or product.
Another camera maker, Chroma.Camera, is offering 15% off all cameras until Sunday night this weekend, the 24th at 23:30 GMT. The discount will appear in your checkout. Double check that it is there before buying and beware of shipping costs outside the UK.
COOPH is offering 25% off their Holiday Gift Guide items until Novermber 27th. The discount will be applied at checkout, double check that too, to avoid disappointment. Items include rope straps, clothing, notebooks and more.
Not a sale, but for those who want to use 126 format film, the Film Photography Project is producing single roll bulk film with 126 perforations. Unlike film with the usual 35mm perforations, this film should not jam most 126 cameras, in theory. A 126 cartridge or adapter is required and must be loaded by the photographer. FPP lists the following cameras that should now work using this film: Rollei SL26, Kodak Instamatic 100 series, Keystone and others that may have jammed with regular 35mm perforated film.
FPP has also restocked 110 format film and for the that 90's vibe, they have some expired APS film and random APS point&shoot cameras. APS was a short-lived format that was intended to be better than 35mm film for consumers, but maybe it was not. The best feature might have been that the cartridge served as the storage for the processed film. The cameras were fairly compact as well.
CineStill Film is also in the game, putting out a 2024 Holiday Gift Guide of their products. A careful read of the Guide might show some slight discounts on some products.
Have fun and make photos!
