Oh and we all are 30, give or take 1 🙂
Well it looks like this topic has a lot of interest.
I work in a niche camera store in Seattle, and so niche that we are probably in a minority of less than ten stores of its kind in the US. <<<
Good post, I may have been in your store, I think I found a bulb for my Minolta 45M Color head. I also indirectly sent you a student and client, Zuzana, and was very interested in the general atmosphere of photography in Seattle, and spent a night at the Max.
Zu modeled for me in Prague, and developed an interest in photography. We were on our way to pass your way last month but ran out of time. She shoots many formats, and as I met her in a cyber café in Prague, she is both young and tech savvy, the only one who could reset my digital clock in my car, but really appreciates film images.
Always appreciate real "camera stores", I am wondering if a list of some kind is needed to keep the faith? There are a few in Ohio.

It's entertaining to watch this from a number of places.
If I can still buy a roll of Reala (or, I'll grant, an equivalent emulsion) for less than $20 USD for 36 exposures then I'll believe that film has found it's niche.
