Where do you find film, get processing, chemicals? I still have my tanks but have no clue where to get chemicals much less batteries to make old camera meters work. Is there photo paper still available? A true lost art.
You raise a good point. The answer is mixed. Some film, materials, etc. are available; others are not -- which means some old cameras can be used, some not. Last month a friend gave me two 50-year old Kodak Instamatics: one is usable, the other not (because 126-cartridge film isn't around).
I buy film from B&H (in NYC) and use Old School Photo Lab (in NH) for developing, scanning and printing.

Isn't it wonderful that it's still in full working order? I can't see that happening with today's cameras, to be honest! xxx
ReplyDeleteYes -- and this camera was cheap when made.
