I have two rolls of film for this camera but would like to find some leads on more rolls. If anyone hears of any, know some obscure place anywhere on the planet please let me know. Think this summer may be time to do a dark room again, second film camera I have now.

That would be 120 roll film I'm guessing. A little googling came up with this:
Flickr: Discussing 120 film in Toronto in Toronto (http://www.flickr.com/groups/tdot/discuss/72157604310192997/)

Hope it's helpfull. :)

If you can tell us what size (127, 620, ect) and b&w or colour. I know I saw a reference to respooling modern films and a source for wierd roll film sizes some where recently. Even if you could supply us with camera name, country of origin and model number that would help with determining size.
Glad your looking forward to getting into the darkroom. I just finished building mine.

Cheers, Neil.

Thanks all but I found some I can order fairly cheap from the States, it is 127 film B&W. Pretty stoked about it now I can do some practice shots since it has been so long since I used anything of this nature, it was a very awesome gift gift at Christmas from one of the bands I did some promo shots for. I found the film here, Freestyle Photographic Supplies - Traditional Black & White Film, Paper, Chemicals, Holgas and ULF (http://www.freestylephoto.biz/) thanks for the replies.

I will, but I am going to until spring at least, I need to set up another dark room, I have this fetish where I cannot let anone else develope or print my images. So before using I need to just get a decent dark room set up, I will look for used equipment love the large negatives it has should be fun.

We're patient people ;)

A lot of people are tossing out their dark room equipment. I guess you should be able to pick up some really good equipment second hand for no money at all. :)

I wish i remembered the company that did this, i think Ken rockwell referenced them *trembles* but theres a company that re cuts and spools modern films into just about any format you can imagine. I know what your looking for is out there though and ill post back if i find it again.

And im hoping to pick up some on the cheap dark room gear myself :) My photography program, a full time expensive type of program does not even teach dark room processing anymore so its going to be a trial and error situation

When you do dark room just come here, some of were brought on film and dark rooms and if you have any questions you can ask us and we may be able to help. Even when you learn to work in a dark room it is still trial and error sometimes depending on what you are looking to achieve. And I did find a supplier for the film but if you find the article I would still be interested, even if it is from Ken Rockwell, but not one to put others down so I will shut up now :angel:
