Here's a bit of news that may be of interest to any of us that still use film.

It looks like film is making a comeback and I hope Kodak considers bringing some of their other films, too.

Interesting news, Dave

 

[Gnomey]

Interesting!

Interesting indeed. When I worked for 'The Big Yellow Box', I used Ektachrome extensively for reproduction and AV programmes, very nice film.

Very interesting, I wish I would have kept my old film camera.

My youngest daughter has yet to forgive me for selling my Olympus OM bodies and lenses !

 

[GrauGeist]

Yeah, I'm still lamenting my Olympus I got rid of back in the early 90's

I am keeping an eye out for a vintage Pentax, now, however.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, I wish I'd kept them now. Bought in the early 1980's, and still like new when I sold them, around five years ago I think.
Compact, easy to handle, and with a wonderful feel to them, and, of course, excellent results.

Does anybody use back-button focus? 3 Reasons Why You Should Switch To Back Button Focus

I was just reading up on it and was wondering if any of you have experience using it?

 

[Shinpachi]

Not reading the manual well, I was disregarding the AF-ON button on my Nikon.
Thanks for your nice information, Marcel

Yes, for me the same. I never knew about this. Can be handy. I don't think it will make sharper images, but I think it will allow me to have more control. I will try this the coming weeks to see if it works for me.

 

[Gnomey]

Certainly looks interesting. Will have to experiment.
