yeah, but people talk about silver negatives lasting hundreds of years.

Re: OT: Kodak APS cameras
Okay, but what does the fact that silver negatives that last hundreds of years have to do with a nitrate based film not being made anymore? It's the nitrate that decomposes and becomes dangerous over time, not the silver. It's the nitrate content that made the film industry abandon it for use in movie film, and I'd guess later in home consumption films. keith whaley Herb Chong wrote: yeah, but people talk about silver negatives lasting hundreds of years.

RE: OT: Kodak APS cameras
Nitrate film stock is responsible for the fire in the crowded theater saying. Movie theaters would routinely catch fire while they were using nitrate film. You know how movie films sometimes stick in the gate during projection and you see a frame burn? Well with nitrate stock, that would produce an explosion.

RE: OT: Kodak APS cameras
Wasn't the Retina SLR made up to at least the late 50's or early 60's? I know they were made in Germany (don't know by whom), but they were badged as Kodak. I don't know if they were great cameras, but they were pretty good for their time, IIRC. cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J. Robert Oppenheimer From: Jim Apilado [EMAIL PROTECTED] snip Kodak was never a player in the film camera business. I think the last great cameras made by them were in the 1940's, the 35mm Ektra and the medium format (620 film) Medalist cameras.
