table top tripod for 3.00 bucks .local flea market.
I ordered a new laptop. My windows 7, 8 year old beast just too slow. I need to buy a separate hard drive to backup stuff. Computers are a major pain. Nothing more elegant than black and white film for storing ikages.

You are exactly correct. The big movie studios store the most important work as color separation negatives on polyester base black and white film in old salt mines. You can't trust solid state memory, hard drives are problematic.I feel your pain. Down one hard drive on RAID system. Need to address this. I've backed up the raid (phew!), but now need to rebuild the raid.
Basically, I bought the raid a number of years ago to preserve digital photographs. My realization some years ago that there is no satisfactory way for me to preserve digital photographs led in part to my return to film photography.
I think Kodak should offer digital to film services.
Darn good idea. Kept dry and dark probably last for decades.Sounds like a great idea! I guess the studios do this work now. Maybe the information density of film isn't high enough to just archive all sorts of digital info (not just pics).
I am also shoeboxing (yes, a new verb) digital pics that might have some appeal to my kids/grandkids decades from now by printing them out (5x70) on a Canon printer. The quality is good and I will probably not do anything with except stick them in a box. They might fade some, but ...
They had a project on data-to-film some years ago . Never ever heard again of it...I think Kodak should offer digital to film services.
Aahhh, memories- ISTR one or two others that went on for all eternity as wellThis thread has become longer than the dreaded Kodachrome has been deleted thread.
As "that Scottish Play" is to thespians, "that unavailable slide film" is to photographers...This thread has become longer than the dreaded Kodachrome has been deleted thread.
Today, I received the HK-5 lens hood. These are relatively scarce stand-alone. From a dealer in England on Etsy.I've used one before, but never owned one. Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5 Autozoom AI-s. Local dealer had this on eBay, and I picked it up this AM. No dust, etc., just a small chip in the finish near the filter ring. Even has the original lens cap. I know they're a bit heavy, but the results in the past were more than satisfactory.

I bought 2 Canon FD lenses from a local dealer today a 24mm f2.8 and a 80-200 f4 zoom they are both in mint condition.
Liked the AA book by Nancy Newhall so much that I have ordered (and read) a book about Aubrey Bodine and have bought (and received) two books by Andreaus Feninger (maybe misspelled his name), one on photographic lighting and the other on composition. I am reading about things that I think I already know, but have found that I continue to learn new things.. Maybe I should reread my "New Ansel Adams Photography Series, Books 1,2, and 3". I may find out that I don't know as much about "The Zone System" as I think I know.........Regards!Another book about Ansel Adams by Nancy Newhall that I could not afford when it was published. Must be a "coffee-table" book because it is so heavy that I have a hard time lifting it. Maybe it is these 88 years that are making it so heavy. Anyhow, I AM enjoying it.........Regards!
And here you have been telling us for years that you do no need new cameras* and will not buy new cameras8*!
I didn't say anything about lenses Steve, and I part exchanged 2 lenses a Vivitar Series 1 70 - 210 and a Sigma 24 mm f 2.8 lens for them to upgrade my collection, and I only paid the balance, and I still have the same number of lenses.
I won't buy any more cameras in this lifetime, I'm a man of my word.

Are we thinking of the High Street in the same big city? Anyway, there is hardly a place in Germany where one cannot reach by bike a drugstore that offers type 135 film.
