new UHH section - Film Photography

One can argue that the practice of film photography raised this activity to an artform, if not a craft. Taking nothing away from film photography, one can argue that digital photography now carries forward this artform. We shall see how it goes.
I note that in order to present its result to a wide audience, film photography relies on scanning of its product via digital means.

My very first camera - a Mickey Mouse 126 cartridge film camera - was mirrorless. In fact my first three cameras were mirrorless...then the evil mirror trend started - my first 35mm SLR.
My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic, no mirror, and the pictures weren’t all that great.

It will be interesting to see how many pictures shared on this forum section will come from film cameras that don’t have mirrors.

To be fair, 126 and 110 film wasn't great.

It’s hypocritical that someone who is as consistently negative about mirrors as you are would moderate a section that includes mirrored cameras. Unless you plan to limit it to Instamatics, Polaroids. And Rangefinders.

I would never take Paul seriously about the mirror thing. But I think his forum about film is good.

I think you’re missing the intended humor in Paul’s remarks (he often shoots with a Canon 5D3). I think this will be an excellent section - subscribing now. Thanks Paul!

Is slide film available and the developing of it?
Definitely both available for purchase and development (E-6).

Yes indeed! B&H, Freestyle and Film Photography Store (just to name a few) sell developing kits of chemicals, and film is available from the same sources. Here in Raleigh, both our local photo stores sell slide film, and one sells chemicals.

Paul's humor is often tongue in cheek, and often missed entirely by those new to the forum.
I no longer use film for new exposures, but will be an avid follower of this group. Yes, thanks, Paul!
