35mm

Was just wondering, does anybody in (preferably england) have any old (especially expired) 35mm camera film - or know any decent websites to get it?

The expired stuff seems to be quite difficult to get hold of on eBay in quantities of more than 5 rolls.

Black and white / colour negative doesn't matter, expired is better, looking for 3+ rolls so that postage isn't more expensive than the actual thing, and am willing to pay :D

Gotta asked, Why expired?

As film gets older (if it's not frozen - which keeps it safe for years) the chemicals that react to light start to react in warmer conditions, which makes each film respond differently and have unique contrast and saturation features....

Some examples (the kind of thing I'm going to be playing with)

I wonder.. what happens when you combine old film and HDR?
