Compare online film listings in Japan in Japanese yen (JPY). Match the film you need first, then check the pack quantity and full purchase cost. This site compares checked Rakuten Ichiba listings; purchases are made with the retailer.
1. Match the format to your camera
35mm film is also called 135; this site's 35mm pages compare 36-exposure rolls. 120 roll film is used in medium-format cameras. These formats are not interchangeable in an ordinary camera. Super 8 is motion-picture film, not still-photo film. Here it is compared per 50ft cartridge, not by the number of still photographs.
Confirm the format in your camera's manual. Even with the same film name, match the format, exposure count, ISO and processing type before comparing listings.
2. Read the unit price and the pack total
The price per roll is the listing total divided by its quantity, rounded to the nearest yen, half up. For a five-roll pack, divide the total by five. You still buy the complete pack: the calculated unit price is not a separate single-roll offer. Compare listings for the same film, such as Kodak Gold 200 in 35mm or Portra 400 in 120.
3. Include shipping and processing in your budget
Listed prices include tax but exclude shipping and film processing. Points and coupons are not deducted. Check the retailer's shipping charge and your lab's processing fees and accepted film types. The lowest price per roll need not mean the lowest checkout total.
4. Confirm the current listing before buying
Read the check timestamp, then confirm the current price, quantity, online availability and product condition with the retailer. Checked online stock does not establish physical-store stock. An English page does not mean that a retailer ships abroad. Confirm delivery destinations, payment options and checkout conditions with the retailer.
