I buy film from Film Photography Project, B&H, Adorama, and FreeStyle Photo. Most of the brick and mortar camera stores that still exist sell some film. For development I do black and white at home and send color out to thedarkroom.com because I don't shoot enough color to make the chemistry cost effective. I print black and white in my bathroom darkroom.
I'm still able to find 35mm, 120 and 4x5 film easily. I have a 127 camera that is a bit harder to find film for.
Glad to see there are others on HN that are keeping film alive. The great thing about film cameras is they aren't obsolete until the film is impossible to find. Even then there are work arounds and modifications that can be made. A local shop used to sand 120 roles to fit 620 cameras for example. They also cut film to fit Minox cartridges.
Frequently, Amazon. I also buy from a local shop but Amazon usually has better prices as much as it pains me. The film I shoot is usually 400TX or HP5 for B&W. For color I usually shoot Ektar 100 or Porta. I shoot both 35mm and 120 format film.
> and are you developing on your own in a darkroom or sending it out to a lab
Lately I use a local lab.
I also have all of the equipment to develop and print B&W film. My plan is to build complete darkroom in my basement. The pandemic has put my plans on hold for the time being though.
