really
what about developing it? who does the developing? I heard there’s no more kodak film and no one left around to do the developing and the EPA won’t let you sell chemicals anymore.
I had a yashica with a built in light meter. No auto. tons of lenses. All screw in type...not bayonette. I had all the developing equipment. My dad even made his own emulsion. He had a one gallon jug of pure mercury...still half full.
There's still Kodak, Fuji, and maybe a few others (Ilford?) around. What you can't get any more is Kodachrome, a slide film (the recently discontinued Kodachrome traces its lineage back to the late 1930's).
I bought an Argus C3 from eBay a few years ago, as a representative of my first 35mm camera; Dad had more or less turned it over to me in the late 50's.
This latter-day C3 still had a roll of Kodachrome in it. A couple of years ago when the one remaining Kodachrome lab announced that they were shutting down that process, I sent the roll off to them. A couple weeks later I got it back undeveloped, with a note explaining that the sprocket holes were too torn up for them to run it through their processor. So we'll never know what was on that last roll.
There are labs all over the place, just do a search. Film will be around for a while. Fuji and others are making plenty of good film.
