Secret Asshole Film Giveaway

I am scanning film with my lab scanner for redditors and people who dont want to or cant pay the high prices of film labs. I accquired some loyal customers over the last months/years. I am not trying to make money, I am trying to give people a cheaper alternative.

I stopped shooting because I work a lot during the week, so I dont really need the film myself. But I would love to put some rolls into the packages I send back to my "customers/friends" because I know some of them dont have the money to buy new film every month, so an "experimental" roll to gap the time would be a nice touch and would make a lot of people happy. I cant really use the 4x5 film but I would love to take the 35mm stuff to "pass it on" in a good way. I can provide proof if you want too :)

Thank you for giving away all the film. I am from germany and would pay the shipping. If its only US then good luck to the other people here :)

edit: grammar and changed „guys“ to "people", sorry!

I'd love the 4x5 stuff. I'm currently shooting FP4+ and HP5+ in my Intrepid 4x5, and making darkroom prints of the keepers. PlusX is very similar to FP4+.

I've also been toying with the idea of getting into 4x5 chromes. If Cibachrome was still around I'd be doing optical printing. Since it's not I'll probably have to content myself with scans, and just appreciating the gorgeous 4x5 chromes on the light table. The main reason I've avoided getting into E-6 stuff in large format is the cost. I have developed my own 35mm and 120 E-6 stuff at home, and been very happy with the results. A box of Ektachrome would really get me off to a great start.

You're a kind soul. If you end up picking me as the lucky winner for your 4x5 film, the least I could do is pay shipping. I'd be sure to share any good images I come up with as well.

I co-run a small analog film club! These would be great to give away at our club so more people can come out with us to do some film walks coming up soon! Here's our instagram. Thanks so much!

Edit: I just want to add that I live in Pennsylvania and would prefer the 35mm stuff

I don't deserve it at all. I was born in sweet 1982 and broke my Dad's Agfa camera when I was 10.

I too am an asshole, but I also like photography. I'm currently working on planning a meet up near me to start developing and printing analog film in a home setting on a shoestring budget. The reason that I'm an asshole is because I'm incredibly slow at sharing what's up with the meetup with those who are interested because I'm still trying to convince one of the libraries near by to let us use one of their meeting rooms for the process.

I have no clue what I'm doing and I'm learning as I go to make this happen, my hope is that if I have film that I can just give to people it might allow someone to try something that they normally wouldn't be able to afford.

lmao i dont deserve this shit at all

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit... I’ll take any muthafuckers film if he givin’ it away!

I deserve the 35mm stuff because honest to God I've been posting here more than I've been shooting. Change that!

Honestly, I'd just take anything that's free. But I'm also a college student so that might be an excuse, IDK.

Hmm, I don't think I can argue that I deserve this more than many of the other people in this thread. u/vigilantetim sound's like he would put it to good use in his film club and share it with a lot of people. Sounds like a good choice.

My best argument is this:

I love taking pictures and I love the whole process of shooting on film. It really helps me control my anxiety when it get's really bad and allows me to focus on something other than myself for a few minutes or hours. I view the current stage of my life as quite difficult and the idea of documenting it helps me turn it into something bigger than just a shitty part of my life. When I take photos I'm telling my own story instead of life and society being in control. The ability to control what parts of my life I want to continue to live on, even when I'm not here anymore, gives me a good feeling inside.

Thank you for doing this giveaway. That's very kind of you and no matter who you pick you will be doing a very good deed.

I’d honestly take either. Been shooting a lot of 35mm lately so the more film the more I can shoot! I also wanna get back into 4x5 soon but damn films expensive.

Good luck everyone ;)

I'd love the 35mm. Been practicing film photography lately, and thinking about learning to develop myself.

I’m a teenager film photographer that shoots 35mm film. I also develop and scan it myself. I’ve been thinking about learning to bulk load to save money on rolls. The film would be extremely appreciated.

Well, I just got my first 4x5 so I would be psyched to have some film to play around with!

Id love the 35mm stuff, I started a photography club at my college and it could be an awesome use considering we don’t have funds lol

I didn’t even know I wanted this crap until I saw it. But I now that I see you’re giving it away I’m interested. I’m a broke college student (18) working part time, and I ha ve a passion for film 35mm and 120 mainly. Most of my money comes from doing real estate photography (min wage)which sucks and I hate but at least I have a job with photography. Film is an expensive hobby. But I want to further immerse myself.

I'm poor college student, I didn't start a club nor am I of a particularly assholish bent (at least I think so). I'd like either because I'd use it, develop it, and share it. My father studied photography in college but ended up as a land use planner so I'll go with the struggling young artist who is trying to overcome his father's legacy shtick. But in all honesty I'd think it'd be real cool to receive some free film, in fact, I'd love it. But, there are some other cool people on this comment section who probably deserve it more than I do so I'm not expecting much. Kind offer though.
