    Shocked at how much bulk TMY-2 costs

    Back when I shot slides in the '70's I would buy a 100' roll of Ektachrome and for a long time the labs would return the cartridges and then suddenly they refused because it was too much work. At that point, paying for a new cartridge for each roll made bulk loading unattractive to me.

    Shocked at how much bulk TMY-2 costs

    Bulk loading for 35mm film makes sense if one shoots enough film and processes it themself. Otherwise the cost of the cassettes must be added to every roll.

    Is ORWO in trouble or a scam? Preordered 2500 rolls and not received a single roll for a year now.

    {Deleted post} It could put ORWO to respond while speculation wastes both time and energy and produces senseless chatter.

    Nikon 24-85 (or similar) options, & use with F6 etc.

    What is the goal, fast aperture or zoom capability? If zoom capability, short, medium or long? These are individual choices, to what are the various options?

    Complete Guide to 70mm Film

    Now that there exists good places and good ways to get 70mm film with the sprocket holes et al, I no longer shoot film enough to support using 70mm film for myself. About 5 years earlier would have made me a convert.

    New Nikon F6 VS. New Zeiss Ikon ZM (w/Zeiss 50mm f/2 Planar) - Which to purchase?

    I am sorry to here about the Hasselblad theft. One needs to arrange the equipment to take out of the car, so that one leave the car with the camera equipment one wants and is not fiddling with the door or trunk open going though the camera bag for all to see. You know this, but other readers...

    In your opinion, what are the best modern 35mm film SLRs ever built?

    It depends on the format and the view finder. The Graphic viewfinders with different inserts for different focal lengths seem to be accurate. My 35mm NIkon AF camera seem to be as stated in the specifications, so one can predict the coverage with a choice of camera models. I would expect the...

    220 Cameras and Film Backs...Have Any, Think You Will Ever Use Them?

    Please explain what you meant, "Out of twenty + some rolls, I had one that was folded wrong at the end, I ended up unloading the camera in the darkroom (Mamiya C33) and have not had any further issues."

    Glue for repairing wooden cameras

    Gorilla Glue is good for cloth focal plane shutter repairs because very thin coats stay flexible.

    Nikon 24-85 (or similar) options, & use with F6 etc.

    Since 2004 I have had a Tamron 28mm to 300mm zoom AF lens and a Nikon 28mm to 200mm zoom AF lenses, one for the color film camera and one for the black & white film camera. Except for the focal length one cannot tell the difference between them. I also carry the Nikon 20mm to 35mm AF zoom lens...

    Speculation may be good for mental stimulation but gets us nowhere and starts unfounded rumors. ORWO needs to come forward and state its case.

    A year later, no film and the money was not returned. ORWO has not provided update information. ORWO can speak up here to explain what is going on.

    It unfortunately sounds as thought ORWO has scammed you. Prehaps bad mouthing them here may push them to refund the money or provide the film. Unwanted attention can have its positive outcomes or cause a loss of future business.
