    Scrap 4x5 film

    Hey...does anyone have, say, about a half dozen pieces of 4x5 film that they're going to drop in the trash? If so, would you be willing to mail them to me?

    I just want a few pieces to practice loading holders and developing tanks.

    Thanks

    I just threw away a whole box of TXP. I can pick them out of my darkroom trash can for you. PM me your address.

    You can't buy 4x5 film by yourself? Are they so expensive?
    On freestyle there are some 4x5 film so cheap, i bought Arista Edu Ultra B&W 100 50 sheets for about $27 excluding the shipping, same film 25 sheets is about $15, you want to have film free?

    Umm, I was thinking to get a half dozen pieces of film, exposed or unexposed - doesn't matter, that was already trash for say $.75 in postage.
    Not looking for something to shoot, just something to handle.

    Does that clear it up?

    OK, understood, pity i didn't have that option at all and bought loads and loads for film new even for the first time and tests, in fact i bought those Arista film [100 and 400] for tests mostly, another films will be for serious shots.

    Stoog:

    Not sure why the other posters are hassling you.

    PM me if you want scrap film. I have plenty and will send you a box of 50 if you want it.

    I practiced with paper negatives for a long time before I bought film. At least you can see what you are doing under safelight until you get used to the operation, plus you get to shoot them and get used to the camera.
