I didn't know we had some film photogs in this group. Several photography stores in this area still do a booming film business and new products are coming out every month. Two of the stores do C41, C22 and other processing on site and one is several days behind in production.
I just sold several cameras and lenses in the last few weeks and I have some more items that might be of interest to some of you including filters, a light meter, etc. If interested, send an e-mail to me at mansfield75150@yahoo.com and I'll send a list of what I have.

Actually, we've been trying to keep the secret of film's superiority secret. However, it's very likely there may be as many or more film shooters on the HAWG as digital. You are right about the proliferation of new films in the market and there is more than enough film gear from it's heyday to meet the demand.
I have been buying and selling film gear for close to 20 years on eBay, Etsy and Shopgoodwill. Sales and prices are rising, particularly in Medium and Large format. There is a whole big third country world out there, and sales outside the US are brisk. Some are smartening up in the US as well.
Thanks for your reminder and don't forget to list your film gear here on the UHH classifieds. I'm a buyer for resale and profits.
And yes, there are plenty of us.... film gearheads.... that is!
Also, I have been an active buyer on UHH classifieds, and 90% of my buys have been film gear. Few are realistic on how fast their digital gear is losing money. My last half dozen large format camera's went to Federation of Russia for very good prices/profits.
Not only film, but large format. Yeah, I also shoot 35mm and 120.

Shipping charges would vary depending on what you purchased.
I wish I had known there were film photogs here - I just sold 2 1/4 duel lens Mamiya and other like new cameras.
I gave my darkroom equip to a young man who was a film student at Dallas County Community College.

Sounds like an advertisement from a rag and bone man! Hope you sell your "stuff."
Rag man? Oh, Leitz, go back under that rock and be quiet. Charlie
