Slide Film

[Papa Smurf]

I agree that there is plenty of film of all types to go around now...

About the only place I ever lived growing up that had no camera shop with a gazillion film offerings was San Jose, Illinois, population 400. When I lived there, my dad had to drive me into Pekin (population 16,000) to buy film....

Yes, there is enough film today to satisfy about every interest in terms of type - color print, slide, and B&W. But the variety is sadly lacking.

bmattock, you are correct, even about San Jose. I checked at Casey's Thursday evening and they only have the one use cameras. Jeremy is worried about what he will do when Wal-Mart no longer supports film, I am concerned about the time when only the major population centers support film. I shudder to think that someday I might have to travel five hours to Chicago (or St. Louis) just to buy a roll of Ilford! Mail order and bulk loading seems to be the best answers for me, at this time. As long as I have a Kitchen sink and a stash of chemicals, processing is not a problem.

Life is uncertain, eat dessert first. :bang:
