• Who makes this film?
• Where can I buy fresh Polaroid film?
• Where can I have my Kodachrome slide film processed?

• I just developed my first roll of B&W and it has (streaks, spots, etc) on it. What's wrong with the film/developer/fixer?
• I hate reels! Is there a better way?
• Why can't someone make a kit to retrofit old film cameras with a digital back?
• Why can't digital cameras be made so that the sensors and stuff can be replaced?
• Do I really have to use a meter?

• Who will do it for me for thirteen cents and pay shipping both ways?

Not a question but a rant:

• Back when I was a kid, cameras were tools. Now they're toys. Blah blah blah.
• Photography used to mean something when it took talent to do it. Now any fool can take a sharp well-exposed photo, so photography is hereby all crap.
• Film has soul, and digital has none. I can tell just by looking at a print if it was digital or film.
• The only magic in photography occurs in a chemical darkroom. Anything else is a fraud.
• It isn't photography if it didn't come from film. Digital is nice, but don't you dare call it photography.
• The camera manufacturers are to blame for the death of film. They forced digital cameras down our throats against our wills!
• eBay sucks!
• Paypal sucks!
• Buying on RFF classified sucks!
• So and so is a crook!
• The seller said it was in 'good shape' and it clearly has a faint trace of a whispy dust molecule on one inner lens element. I want a refund and HOW DARE THEY!

Shucks. Somebody beat me to the 35mm Summicron question.

I don't recall seeing "Which fast 50 cheap?"

I wonder if anyone has really asked, "Which version of the 35mm Summicron would be best for my new M3?"
