From today's email:

No, actually we are watching others going to Hell or bankruptcy.

Like you, I found the 65mm lens too close to the 80mm lens and I prefer the 55mm & 80mm pairing to carry around. The 55mm, 80mm and 250mm make a nice group for traveling.

Both originally built on contract for NASA.

OP, since you are in southern California contact the DarkroomDoctor.com to contact Dave & Norma C. Smith both of whom are on the FreeStyle board of directors.

Sounds like that is an accurate conclusion.

Great summation. "No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the average American." attributed to H L Mencken.

Ah a moldy oldy.

I do not take portraits. REF: See previous comments about what my father did while taking portraits.

Yes, much before my time.

A lens bag has been on back order for months, so I had Adorama replace that order with a slightly more expensive one that they will ship shortly.

It was a reference to the use of the term "Kodaking" in the past.

I like Mario photo bombing in print number 4.

Or use the thicker rubber gloves and masks that we bought during the COVID pandemic.

So Kodak is a verb? As in Kodaking, right?

Is the green algae on the walls or is that a film or scanning artifact?

Frankly the rising cost of food and fuel not just nationally but globally are a much greater concern than the rising cost of Kodak film. If people cannot buy food and or fuel, they are not going to be buying film. We have much bigger problems today.

Your statement would have been stronger if it had read: You are baising your conclusions too much on the comparatively expensive (at the moment) BW film from Kodak.

One can always learn by digging in or expanding out. Every think can be an opportunity.

Always a good time to consider a change for the better.

Take a look at XTOL and replenished XTOL.

Ensemble of great compatible equipment that will serve you will in your darkroom work. Enjoy.

So you are saying that the engineers at Kodak are so stupid that they cannot find their way out of bed in the morning without help? That is what you are stating in your post. If the cost of quality film is too high for you, you need to change what and how often you photograph or get a new...

I prefer the 27 gear Haluzak Hybrid Race It is my beach chair with an attitude.

And that is what happened to me in France.

Raising prices to stay in business is not jacking up the prices, it is good business and beats going out of business. You might even do that yourself.

I do not have the 120 and 135 but I have passed up opportunities to buy because I do not use the Hasselblad for close ups.

If one does not buy then sell Leicas [feel free to insert your drug camera of choice] how else will you keep the photographic economy stimulated? It is a tough job but someone has to do it.

In France it varied from down right rude "How dare you ask!?! to out right hostile [read: verbally threatened]
