| Along this same line anyone interested in a 35 mm camera? It's an Olympus Stylus Epic ZOOM 80. I know very little about it other than its 35mm and I have no use for it. Still works fine. Email me if you'd like it.

Nice - that was the first SLR I owned. From there it was a Olympus OM2(?) and now a Canon T-90 with a 1.2 50mm and a 135mm lens. Like you, been thinking about getting back into 35mm an maybe some home developing and printing (Craigslist has lots of enlargers for sale, color and B&W).
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I had the same thought with my Nikon FE...but it's not feasible for me to set up a darkroom. I've gone to the dark (digital) side. |

| Gotta be a commercial lab in the area that processes black and white film yet. Processing my own it way too much like work.

Interesting. My 3rd daughter took a photography class last year (2015-2016) during her senior year of high school. She used my Minolta SRT-201 that I bought in high school around 1977 or so. She got the opportunity to develop her own pictures, etc. and really enjoyed the experience. It gave her a better understanding of "old school" photography.

I used to love doing my own developing and printing. I wouldn't be happy with the results just sending it out through Walmart, etc. |

| Thanks, FL.40 -
It would not be for me, but for my friend Dane. I owe him for a referral.
Seeing the interest, I'd rather it go to a member. - jim |

| Thread drift but where do you have 35mm film developed? We found some rolls that were not developed recently and I couldn't find anyplace local.

I used to have a Minolta SRT 101...used it a LOT back in the day. I still have two Canon (the model escapes me now) film cameras and wonder if there is any market for them. I'm afraid I'll never use them.
