Spidersnaps: Max-imizing my shots

[spiderbraids]

I managed to grab a Kodak Ultramax when it was in stock at my usual lab (sometime mid-year) for THB390 (about USD 11 right now, but probably slightly less when I got it), and I was surprised to see it at that price, since the last time it was in stock, it was going for THB100 more (USD 3), to the point I checked with the seller if it was the 24 exposures version... When they said it was 36, I got one without hesitation... I ended up starting it in December in my Kodak H35, and it lasted all the way to early February, managing a grand total of 75 shots :-)


Film and camera (ETA: Kodak has since redesigned the box, but the lab actually went from selling films with the new box in January back to old in March [older stock perhaps?])
