I think we should revisit Ektar 100 film before they stop making it.

I am working on getting the camera back. I received a note from Ralph about 10 days ago, in which he agreed to drop it off at the local camera repair shop. My one handicap here is I don't know where he lives, therefore I am unable to just go get it. Likewise I have no idea how far he lives from the drop-off point, nor how difficult it is for him to get there.

Patience!

The excitement is mounting... Thanks for the update Jake!

How did it taste? Did you put BBQ sauce on it?

I would send the camera to Sile and if Sim is around, he can make the effort to collect the camera and shoot his photo. I mean... Ireland isn't that big is it?

I tried it with some flava beans and a nice chianti... it actually worked quite well

You're absolutely right Tim.. Ireland is a teeny tiny place.. sure we all know each other! In fact.. Simplicius is only about 40 minutes away or a days mail.. The end is nigh.....

If we can do a 6x9 folder (8 shots), or even a pair of cameras, I have 2 Erconas (basically a rebadged Ikonta after Russian occupation of east Germany) and a pro pack of Ektar 100 in 120 that remains unused. I bought it because I was curious to try it out, then I realized how funny my logic works. I have no problem dropping a couple hundred dollars on a box of AZO paper, yet I balk at paying someone $10 to develop a roll of color film for me.

I only recommend W*lM*rt for the processing service.

The Photo*Centers in the two local stores charge $2.95 to process and print 120.

I've never been able to get a definite answer on where the film is sent.
I was told that some items get sent to Dwaynes, and some get sent to a {FujiLab}
in New Jersey. Unfortunately, they don't scan 120, it would be nice to be able to
get a CD for a few more Dollar$ ...

I would never purchase anything else from W*lM*rt, except a $5.00 FootLong from
the Subway Shop, it's usually a 15 - 30 minute wait to find someone to locate the
film, and be able to pay, and get on my way. Hopefully your results may vary.

I've been laptopless for the last couple of weeks so missed out on the arrival on our fair (if a little wet) shores.. Great to hear it's almost home... Facebook mail checked and replied Simplicius...

I see an end in sight....

Oh and I love the Foul idea for #9

Seriously? You gave the camera to someone and don't know where he lives or how to contact him? Did you read the instructions prior to signing up for this project? Having been a part of the missing camera 7 project, this is very frustrating.

Banana,

I share your frustration, but Fred's not the one who gave it to Ralph.

We'll get it back. Somehow.

Regards,

Shawn
