There are still somewhere around 128 different films being produced. I'm not worried. BTW - Ilford does make great film. Harold <snip> FYI. The following is...
Forte, Fuji, Ilford, Efke, Maco, Agfa, Bergger, Konica, Polaroid, Paterson. Most of these companies will have to trim back a bit in the short term and may stop...

I think the main drawback of the "majors" (probably starting with Kodak) withdrawing from film manufacturing is that there probably won't be nearly as much...
It is true that B&W film and chemicals are becoming harder to find in photo shops, but, thanks to the internet, there seems to be a wider range of film...
Yeah, I saw that. J&C Photo carries some of it but as you can see, it's just Maco film repackaged. Kind of like HP manufacturing cameras. I believe I heard...
... I hate the digital vs film paradigm, there are actually three states, and they all need to be addressed. Digital -> Giclee Print (Inkjet) Digital -> AgBr...
... I just don't see how Kodak can expect digital to make as much money, think about it, a film camera needs film, every shot needs to be a separate piece of...
Hi Phillip, I'm curious how you like the Vivitar Series 1 135/2.3 lens. How is the sharpness and contrast wide open? I had a Series 1 200/3 which looked pretty...
Jason, As I mentioned I really haven't used it enough to pass judgment on it. I love its brightness for composing as I usually use a NT3 which has a bit dimmer...
Happy New Year, All. I don't post much but am a big fan of this board and the expertise its active members share, so thanks. My question concerns the lenses...
Of the hundreds of camera shops in the country that carried Konica 20+ years ago even Greg can't manage to buy all the overstock stuff. In addition, with the...
Digital technology is completely akin to computer technology IE the life-span of any product is say two years. If you have the state-of-the-art digital...
I wouldn't worry too much about 35mm Films continuing to be available for another 10 years. When I am out photographing local landscapes, I actually see as...
My Ebay seller of the FT-1 just called - he SWEARS OUT that the camera does NOT have ANY of the problems I described to him. NONE!! He SWEARS out that it...
I consider myself a serious photographer of landscapes and I have seen many others changing over to digital. A 35mm image is not a bottomless pit of ...
2 quick thoughts. #1 Ask for the name and phone number/address of the repair shop. #2 There is some form of dispute resolution on ebay. It's a start. Steve O...
Hello David... No sir, I didn't mean to imply that 35mm was a }bottomless pit of resolution". I have shot 6x7 cm and 4x5 in for Landscapes and I KNOW they...
Hi Alan, I just picked up an Auto Helicoid. What are the magnification factors for the various Hexanon Lenses? Thanks, Doug ... === message truncated === ...
Hi there, I am Christine, Peter's sister. Peter and his wife were in a very bad car accident yesterday. They are in critical care unit. I will be trying to...

You know, I hate to say it but it's just possible that one of the connections has become jarred loose or some dirt has knocked around inside screwing with the...

Hello Phillip... Yes, it's the same FT-1. Seller called tonight and said "since he cannot determine there is anything _wrong_ with the camera, he does not...
Hi Doug, The chart gives a whole range that is correlated to the adjustment of the helicoid. The best I can do is give you a range for each lens, at the...
Hi all My father-in-law had suddenly remembered a couple of weeks ago that he had a spare Konica flash - an x-24. This is another of his "treasures" that he...
Hello Christine, This appears to be an auto response you have set up that is answering each email forwarded to Peter from the Konica SLR message group. I will...
... Your buying before I do then, very few digital cameras, can beat the quality of a decently scanned image from 35mm film (the ones that can, are close...
