I also can't believe that adding 2nd-day air only cost an additional $1.99!
Man, this brings me back...I always found these catalogs and price lists fascinating even if full of so many unfamiliar items I was overwhelmed. I find it really charming too, the little cartoon at the top left corner. I think it was one of these lists that helped me decide a old frozen lot of Konica 750 was a reasonable deal...compared to $5.39 per roll @ Adorama it was worth buying a $20 brick from eBay. At the time it normally never occurred to me to buy film that wasn't available locally, so it was a big step.
No Delta 3200 in 1998? When did that appear?
Also, I have no recollection of chromogenic b/w being so old...thought it came out around 2000. Or was it just not as easily found in drugstores yet? Did a Google search and found a photo.net article about film types with a comment from 1997 about these films being "new" but I really don't remember it.
Now can you scan a page with paper prices?
Me too, seriously.
APX was certainly cheap, wow. I never shot anything in 100 except TMX. I don't think I was even aware of the others (only vaguely aware of Ilford). Which is why I was overwhelmed when I saw these pricelists...didn't know these other companies nor ever had anyone to give advice on the other films.
I never knew about the 1000 and 1600 ISO Kodak color neg films either, only ever used Superia 1600. Now I wish I had known about them, just to have the frame of reference. Were they any good? (or is that why they were discontinued?)
