Spend money for cameras and film. That floats my boat.

Kodak stopped advertising after the Salt Lake City Olympics because they found that spending money for advertising did not help sales.

We are waiting as fast as we can!

My experience and the community experience is that touching the film with fingers or squeegee runs a risk of emulsion damage. Many of us have learned that touching the emulsion is just asking for problems.

I had a circa 1933 Certo SuperDolly folder with a Zeiss lens and the quality of the photographs was terrific. I liked it because it was pocketable but on the large size, It did not have a range finder. I have a 30"x30" print from on it on my walls. I picked it up on Photrio for $75 and I got...

+1,000,000 I am so tired of hearing that crap. It is from the same people who shove "A poor workman always blames his tools." down our throats.

Now if you could get it down to -40, that would be the same for °F and °C both at the same time together at once.

Try the usual suspects: KEH, Samy's, Adorama, B&H, eBay ...

For me any enlarger that was available to me was a good enlarger, but then while I was working at Kodak I started using the darkrooms available to the employees after hours and I really got to like the Chromega Dichroic II 5D-XL and the Kreonite machine. So when I set up my own darkroom I...

You were looking at the camera?!?

I have and use the Nikon SB800. It has many great features including zoom to the lens focal length, it is powerful, can bounce and is compatible with film and digital photography.

I would like to see a fair test with XTOL since it is such a forgiving developer.

If I can smoke it or eat it and get high, I am all in.

The problem came from paper problems. So far it has not been linked to storing at room temperature, refrigerating, or freezing. I freeze all my film.

I will wait and see.

Ditto I would like to see TMAX P3200 in 120 too.

My first and only night camped out for the Rose Parade was 1971. The Rose Parade was started by realtors to sell houses in southern California to midwesterners. Every New Years Day the midwesterners huddle around the television for warmth from the Rose Parade. So it still works.

Old golfer just loose their balls and putter away.

And it would be great if Ilford got back into the C-41 film business.

You are correct. So I buy Tri-X instead.

And you are a film expert because you worked at which film company or is it based on what you ate for breakfast. I worked at Kodak and for electro-optical systems for several other companies. Your expertise is based on how many pennies you spend?

Well stated. Kodak makes superior products and I am willing to pay for the quality so that I can take photographs with the confidence that the film is of the highest quality and I can devote my efforts to working on photography instead of worrying about how good the film is or isn't.

I am happy that Kodak is working hard to keep up with the demand for their products. The since Kodak got rid of that lousy CEO the management has been doing a good job of listening to the film buying public. Your problem is all about price which would be less of a problem if you bought your...

Time for me to look for awkward focal lengths since I have most of the usual suspects.

We recently had rain for a change so we are about 10+" while normal is 3", but we have a long way to go to recover from years of drought. This week the weather is unseasonable cold and even goes down to 45°F with highs in the upper 60°s. Poor us we have to remember where we put our sweaters...

Edmonton goes below freezing the end of August beginning of September and does not go above freezing until some time in June. I think people live there because they believe that the climate will make them age slower and live longer. I would think those people might know a thing or two about...

I bought my Pacemaker Speed Graphic and Graflex Model D over the internet in very few emails from a retired Graphic and Graflex repairman who was selling off his personal collection. I asked him for his best of each and both of them arrived in as near as pristine condition as those cameras can...

Frankly I would rather have Kodak, Ilford and Rollei products in 220 before I consider buying the 220 backs and buying 220 film. Meanwhile I am happy with the 120 market so no griping here.

While I would like HIE and IR Ektachrome back on the market, which will not occur, I am happy with other infrared films such as Rollei IR 400.
