I have started bulk loading not too long ago. I am saving $1.5 on a roll of Kodak TMY and $2 on a roll of Agfa Optima II(c-41).(posted 8419 days ago)One advantage is also not saving a few pennies, but be able to use Pro film at less than Kodak Gold's price.
The only problem I have come across is CVS 1hr wouldn't take my hand roll Agfa because I don't have the Bar code(not the DX code). But I have no problem anywhere else Pro lab, highend consumer lab, wholesale lab, mail order lab, even the Wal-mart and Target 1hr. They all come out beautiful.
I now have the bar code for the Optima. and printed out a few barcodes so If I "Have to" goto CVS. I am ready! The next batch of optima is going to have nice looking color labels w/ codes on my cans.
