It's the same as photrio.com. In fact apug just changed to photrio not too long ago. That when they started to let you discuss anything involved digital at all.

My friend has a Canon T50 camera that he wants to sell. It's supposed to be a great camera. I have to dig out a Canon 35 I have from the late 1990's, and also an old movie camera that I hear is very popular w/film students. I'll list them in the in the Buy, Sell trade as soon as I can.

I propose that we all let this thread fade. It has very little to do with photography.

B&H and Adorama have many brands... Kodak, Fujifilm, Adox, Ilford, Kentmere, and more...
It’s a lot easier to buy online than at brick and mortar stores.

When digital cameras became good, I switched from film. Yes, digital cameras are expensive, but so were film cameras. Digital cameras don't become any more obsolete than film cameras
I don't agree with this statement. I kept two consecutive film cameras for eleven years each. To upgrade a camera, all I had to do was to purchase a new {disposable} sensor {better known as "film"}. To upgrade my digital sensor, I have to purchase a new camera, so I don't expect to use a digital camera for eleven years.

Mr. Burkholder, I'm curious about the availability of any Kodak color transparency film at B&H or
anywhere else in the U.S. since Kodak totally finished their film production years ago?! That forced me to switch to Fuji for their 100F & 400X films, both of which were very good but during
my entire professional career I was a Kodak man, so to speak. Apart of the announcement last
year from Kodak Alaris in the U.K. which is introducing their "Professional Ektachrome" (which I suspect will be similar to Kodak's very fine Ektachrome-100G), I haven't heard anymore about it.
And I believe the only place to accept prepaid Mailers is Dwayne's in Parsons, Kansas.

But they still make Tri-X, T-Max, and Portra... three of my old faves.
I don’t miss Ektachrome at all. I exposed and processed thousands of rolls of that stuff as an AV producer back in the 1980s. Nearly all of my Ektachromes since 1969 have faded severely. The exception is the Infrared Ektachrome I used in the mid-1970s.
OTOH, all my Kodachrome slides look fine.
In the end, I personally don’t care, because I no longer use film. I helped transition a portrait lab from optical to digital production from 2000 to 2005, and transitioned my cravings to digital as a result.

Same here all my Ektachromes have faded severely. The Kodachrome look great.

Kodak testing {I think in the 1980's} showed that Kodachrome was better for archive {I remember their specifying 100+ years}, while Ektachrome was better for repeated projecting.

As everyone who has owned a slide projector knows, that light source is really bright and really hot. It must take its toll on the film.

Exactly. That’s why most pros used Ektachrome 5071 and SO-366 duplicating films to copy our originals for projection.

Yes, "rehess", you're quite right about Kodak notifying us about Kodachrome being Archival (100+ years) while Ektachrome held up better with slide projection. Only my early versions of
Ektachromes have any "fading" or off-color problems, but beginning with the "Lumiere" version
of Ektachrome and subsequent improvements, I had no such problems and my Agency clients
preferred either Ektachrome or Velvia (I refused to shoot exaggerated Velvia). In the 1990's
Kodak came out with E-100G (& E-100GX, a warm version) which were truly excellent. Most of
my professional work was done on Kodachrome-II (best of all!!) then later on Kodachrome-64.
