Hipsters shooting Holgas?Wow, I wonder where the demand is coming from?
You gave up your SLRs rather than use Fuji? I'm not finding fault but am just curious.I love Ecktachrome film. Did my own developing in my dark room. Now I can start using my SLR's again. Happy days have returned!!!
My wife didn't like the idea of sharing a laundry room with chemicals. Now that we have moved I have a shop where I have set up a dark room. Sometimes you things to keep the household peaceable.Hipsters shooting Holgas?

I just checked out my tank and drum roller and they are ready to roll. I need a new fuse for color analyzer for the my enlarger. Other than that I need some new chemical bottles and development chemicals. I guess I will be surf the web looking for chemicals and other items.I still have my my JOBO 1000 tank from the early 1980s View attachment 385312

Good news for photographers ... I'm pretty Libertarian in my views but it is one field that is in heavy need of licensing and legislation.
Yeah, about as nutty as needing government permission to be a notary or to sell real estate commercially. Look, I never said that your ability to take photos should be controlled by the government. Click away! I'll try to be clearer here. What I was stating was that your ability to hang a sign out and offer your services to the public should require a certificate or proof of rudimentary education in the service in which you are offering. If you have ever worked in the field you would have heard countless tales about how once-in-a-lifetime memories have been lost by photographers making bold promises and then being unable, or unwilling, to deliver. The trouble with modern cameras is that anyone with any ability can take a beautiful shot. What they can't do is make a beautiful shot every time under all conditions. Unfortunately, many clients, and even some photographers, don't discover this fact until a very expensive wedding moment, or some other unique moment in which the photographer has been paid to capture, has been ruined.You can't be serious if you think the gov'ment needs to license my ability to take photos. That's way past crazy!! I can't take and sell my photos because you think you are somehow entitled to sell your stuff for more money than I do?? That's like saying I can't change the oil in my mom's car for free because the guy down the block has an auto mechanic shop. I have just one word for that ... NUTS!!!!
I liked Ektachrome, but my slides have faded over the years.
But, Kodachrome, Gives us those nice bright colors.... and was the best at 25 ASA, the 64 was good, and the 200 was OK. Finding someone to develop it was a big pain.
+1, although it was a bit too slow for use on pretty much anything that was moving.Kodachrome 25 was the best film I ever used. Have folders of slides shot with that wonder film.
Good news for photographers but nothing like the shouts of hosanna that you would hear if Kodachrome 25 was reintroduced. I've been both an avid and professional photographer since 1974 and there is NO WAY that I'm going back to film. Digital photography is both a blessing and curse. It makes jobs so much easier but now, every Tom, Dick and Liz think that they are a professional and will hire out for nothing. I'm pretty Libertarian in my views but it is one field that is in heavy need of licensing and legislation.
I likey, but what's a "kite"?Licensing and legislation? Are you out of your mind? That's seriously about the dumbest thing I have heard on this forum. That's like requiring a kite flyer to get a pilots license because you want to use the area he's in for a picnic.
Obviously, you didn't comprehend my first post, nor the explanation in which I explained that I meant this for professional photographers. Not a license for anyone to take photos but as a way for professional photographers to be policed by requiring a minimal amount of training. But since you have shown such respect with your reply, and this isn't a photography forum, I will end my involvement here and now.Licensing and legislation? Are you out of your mind?

Dude, you need to be regulated...I don't accept that photographers, either professional or otherwise, need to be "policed". We DO NOT LIVE IN A POLICE STATE!!! I have been asked to do some professional photography on occasion. I made it clear to my clients that I am not a professional, and don't have the same equipment that most professionals do. I also made it clear I would not charge them the same prices a professional would. ( By the way, this was way before digital cameras were available like they are now).
I showed my clients some of my work, and they thought I could do the job well enough. Every one was happy. Why would the government need to get involved in this?
Lol, nope, I'm divorced.Dude, you need to be regulated...
