To elaborate on my thread, apparently it's only Kodachrome which as bit the dust. The newer Kodak film is still supported.

Which makes me feel better. I spent years collecting a K1000, with a 50, 28, 35-80, 70-300, 2X doubler, with a tripod, shutter release, flash, and a sack full of filters which all fit in a shoulder bag.

A very capable rig, and I'd still rather use it as my digital.

I also regret selling my Spotmatic. But I was trained on a Speed Graphic, if that tells you anything.

Guess I like living in the past.

BTW Blue, just how many TOTL 7" tapes do you need for your Revox? I've got 50 or so, in excellent condition, recorded once. And a few virgins. Maxell and Memorex.

I mostly shot Kodachrome 64 (along with Ektachrome 64). However, when I lived in New Orleans, I used a fair amount of K25 on bright sunny days.

I still have a Canon F1 along with three nice lenses and a flash, as well as an Olympus XA (a mini 35mm rangefinder).

I've considered selling my entire F1 package, but continue to hang on to it.
