So are their images. :-) A few years ago I looked on line and in magazines to get film when I last had a film body and it was very difficult; mostly old stock and/or short dated film. I looked today, and it was like looking ten years ago. Plentiful supplies, even E6 long dated fresh supplies. Something has changed and I guess it must be demand for it. Are there more of you who still use film out there? I only use BW or outdated color negative film in 35mm or 6x6 these days. Most usually XP2 Super or Fuji ACROS 100. I like LONG outdated color negative film a lot: the color shifts and fogging lend each roll of it a unique look.

Alas, regardless of price it's probably too late for me now, as I know so little about their past products, and it would mean new lenses as well. I did find in my box of camera things two used Kodak Disc 6000 cameras and a boxed ITT Magicflash (which it says is for Polaroid 1000, 1500, 2000 3000 cameras) in case anyone wants them, because I won't.

RE: 35mm film v 35mm DSLR
I still like to shoot film, but only BW, and Ken has really nailed the reason. For colour work, unless you can find a pro lab that still does E-6 processing, digital is the way to go. Colour neg is hopeless, just had one film processed by the only sensible lab around here and the colours and DR were way off, like I'd used an old Sigma lens! For my purposes WRT colour, my *ist-D still works well enough: I can get A4 sized prints easily enough, and no-one I supply prints to wants anything bigger - they're mainly friends/family, of course. For BW, it's one of several older Pentaxes I own, including the MZ-S, or a Rolleicord for big negs. I do enjoy the whole process of self-developing - but then I have the time as well as the inclination. As long as I can get decent film, chemicals and paper, I'll hang onto my developing kit and carry on being old-fashioned. One of my grand-daughters has recently expressed an interest in photography - it will be interesting to see if she asks me about using film, it can be magical when you see your first print coming up in the tray.

Re: Enablement: Bottom feeder purchases 43mm Limited SILVER (MIJ)
Congrats, Darren! I have 77/1.8 and 31/1.8 Limiteds. I am very happy with both of them (although in different ways: they have very different characters). While those are obviously faster lenses compared to what I have for that focal length, the rendering I get from both is much better than what I get from the other lenses. I've never had the 43mm, as it happens to be in less useful range of the focal length. (My 50/1.4 and 50/1.7 are much less used on APS-C bodies, especially since I've got 31 and 77mm.) If that's a good focal length for you, I would guess you'd enjoy that lens. I don't have any strong opinion about black vs. silver. I might have preferred a silver one for the 77, but for no particular reason. I remember that when those lenses just came on the market, everybody seemed wanting the black ones, and then the trend reversed. Both of mine are black and made in Vietnam, and I don't know if MIJ are better, but I am happy with mine. The only thing I wish they had is the quick-shift focus.

Good Lord is it beautiful. I had a 35mm macro limited (briefly) but fairly quickly sold it. So this will be my first Silver Limited ever and is in a focal length that fills a gap that is only covered (now) by my Pentax DA 16-45mm zoom. I'm curious to see if it will be a keeper. Given that is is a MIJ early serial no. I don't think I will have any trouble recouping my investment if for some reason I wish to turn it. Most of my good AF lenses are Sigma EX (not Pentax) so I'm curious to see how much I fall in love with this lens. The other Limited that would be on my want list is the 77mm f1.8. In any event, with the FF Pentax coming, this is probably not a bad time to snag good deals on FA Limiteds. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

35mm film v 35mm DSLR
This is the best take away and a quick hit from our discussion I'm hoping that a 36 exposure roll of film will make me think more about the image I'm composing. Hopefully, this discipline will be there to transfer back to the DSLR. Maybe that is what I need to gain from film again, more than anything else? Well said Malcolm Sir. Which makes me ask all of you, how was I was able to get at least 29 keepers from a roll of 36 exposure - actually I would get 37 or 38 exposures with careful spooling of the cassette in the camera - when I hardly get 50% keepers from digital cameras Film is certainly not dead. And this year I was requested to bring back two Fuji Instant Cameras with me from Canada. There is a revival of Polaroid type cameras too.

Re: 35mm film v 35mm DSLR
Polaroid Type 55 film produces a positive and an enlargeable negative, I suppose he could have a stockpile of that, Production ended sometime before 2010, and the smallest size sheet was 4x5. Seems unlikely that Godfrey is carrying around a Crown Graphic with a 545 film holder, I'm not even sure that you could stuff a 545 film holder onto a press camera.

I believe DSLR's produce better photos print quality for the simple reason you know on site, via the histogram, whether you have obtained the optimum exposure for a given situation - no more waiting till after development of the film to find out if you got it right. No such mechanism exists for film. Not entirely true. You can still get Polaroid film. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

I can also see this replacing Jump the shark as a metaphor.

All that needs to be done is to tell the story (on a web page and YouTube video and link to a donation button for those wishing to see Cotty eating a hat). This could easily go viral in the Pentax community, if not beyond. It would only take $3000 people contributing $1 to raise more than enough for the body. I can see a line of baseball caps and t-shirts growing from this potentially, as well. I also have some ideas for the easy consumption of said hat. :) On Sun, Feb 8, 2015 at 9:34 AM, Zos Xavius zosxav...@gmail.com wrote: I think its time to eat the hat!
