beautiful camera Mickey.. love the old folders and that one looks to be in exceptional condition I'm afraid I cheat, started with the idea of taking at least a couple of shots with each camera I buy but that idea went out the window with the need to cut down films and make photo paper plates for others... Digitals are so much simpler for everyday use Bob How right you are, Bob. I have plenty of cameras that I would like to try with film or even paper negatives. But the cost of film, paper and chemicals in Toronto is prohibitive. So may they RIP. I have become very fond of digital, its ease of use and absence of concern about the cost of each shot. However, I think I made better pictures with film as I spent far more more time and took more care with each shot. Mickey |

its not only Toronto I'm sorry to say.. since the advent of digital with its popularity for obvious reasons we dont have all those little mini labs competing for business anymore so the few that are left are free to charge what they wish and chemicals and paper have skyrocketed in price as well... guess thats progress... has its bad side as well.. lot of advantages with digital not the least of which is you can see immediately what you got and if you missed that really important shot

Our local labs' quality has taken a turn for the worse. The chemicals used are old and they use them until they are worn to death. I'm holding a few films back until they replenish/replace the chemistry.
