Just arrived in the mail, new, had not seen a catalog in print for quire some time. Have to admit that I had not been keeping up Freestyle, what peaked or is peeked my interest is the Cinestill temperature control system, for $138. Anyone use it?
 
Wow... I thought we saw the last paper catalogue a long time ago. I like paper catalogs so I’m happy.
 
Mostly doodads. Still welcome, my copy of Adorama's 2001 Darkroom catalog is getting a little worn.

Not to undercut Freestyle, but I think the Cinestill is basically the Anova Sous-vide heater. https://anovaculinary.com/products/
BTW, is is "piqued" as in stimulated.
 
They gave my dry plates a nice spread. Glad to see them putting out an analog photography catalog again.
 
surprised that the downloadable version does not mention any of their private brands.

Yes, what wasn't mentioned is that this is an ANALOG CATALOG. Mine arrived today, and since I complained when they discontinued their catalogs a couple years ago I was very happy to see it in my mailbox. I hope they keep putting them out.
 
I'm waiting for mine too. I take this as a positive sign. To start mailing their analog catalog again isn't cheap, so they must feel confident that analog photography has stabilized. I know it will cost me more ie. no free shipping but, I'll have to give them more of my business.

If their shipping to Canada wasn't the next thing to robbery I would be more inclined to deal with them.

indeed, there must be a better way for them to ship here. the only way that works at all is the crazy method that sends the package to Sweden and mails it from there, and they limit that to a 150 dollar maximum order size!

It is crazy that international shipping from the US is so expensive. I have had to ship to Europe and it cost twice as much as having them ship the same item back to the States!
 
Shipping WITHIN the United states is going up and up.

You can still send a 1st class letter across the country for only $.55 Also, the US has what is called Forever Stamps. Buy them at face value, and they are still good to ship one letter across the country no matter how much rates go up in the future.

How much is a New York subway ride these days?
