Sources of film, darkroom gear, lenses, equipment, processing – Everything a photographer needs. From around the world, around Australia, and right here in Adelaide.
World:
Bostick and Sullivan – Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.A.
http://www.bostick-sullivan.com/
In business for more than 25 years, they sell alternative process gear including kits, lab equipment, film and chemicals. Books too!
Japan Exposures – Japan
http://www.japanexposures.com/shop//
Formerly megaperl’s webshop, a goldmine of unique and uncommon photographic products from Japan. Fast shipping to Australia, with tracking to boot. Highly reccomended.
Freestyle Photo – California, U.S.A
http://www.freestylephoto.biz/sc_main.php
This is where I bought all my film when I went to Alaska. Shipping is expensive, so make your orders count and lodge big ones.
KEH Camera – Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.
http://www.keh.com/
Thousands of second hand cameras, lenses, and gear. Highly reccomended.
Abe Books – Worldwide
http://www.abebooks.com/
No film or enlargers, but books. An huge group of book stores around the world, selling online through one site – shop for your second hand and rare books here. Pick up Ansel Adams’ “The Negative”, if you want to make it seem more photographic
OK Photocameras – Russia
http://www.okvintagecamera.com/
Russian rangefinders! Cameras for sale, parts and a top notch repair service.
Fedka – America (? not overly sure)
http://www.fedka.com/catalog/
Fedka sell Russian cameras and lenses at pretty decent prices, and have a very good reputation in the community. In a field littered with expensive junk, it can be better to go to a trusted source than risk ebay.
Australia:
Fotospeed – Sydney, New South Wales
http://www.fotospeed.com.au/
Fotospeed products – papers and toners.
Vanbar – Melbourne, Victoria
http://www.vanbar.com.au/catalogue/index.php
A wide range of products, the biggest photography store in Australia. Their online ordering system isnt too flash, but you can email them an item list, they’ll tell you the total including postage and you can make a bank tranfer to their account. Their film prices are way over the top, but for everything else they’re good.
South Australia:
Photographic Wholesalers – Adelaide, South Australia
http://www.photowholesalers.com.au/
47 Hutt Street, Adelaide, SA, 5000
Their new website has been on the way for a while, but their store is amazing. Comparable to Vanbar, but with better prices. Get to them if you can, highly reccomended.
L & P Photo / Total Photographics – Adelaide, South Australia
http://totalphoto.com.au/
10 College Road, Kent Town, SA, 5067

One of my favorite places in Adelaide to visit, reliable Camera repair service, lots of second hand equipment for sale and new stock. Voigtlander and Leica too, always lovely to look at.
Twin city Camera house – Adelaide, South Australia
120 Grenfell Street, Adelaide (just near the bus stop)
Lots of secondhand stuff, film in the fridge
Chromacolour – Adelaide, South Australia
http://www.chromacolour.com.au/
49 Wakefield Street, Kent Town
What I believe to be the last professional cibachrome/ilfochrome lab in the country, stop by or better yet, give him your business next time you want a slide printed.
Atkins Technicolour – Adelaide, South Australia

89 Fullarton Road, Kent Town, SA, 5067
Adelaide’s only Q-lab, certified by Kodak. Dip and Dunk processing for all film up to 8×10″. Plenty of film for sale too.
