I like the idea of giving topic categories. But the idea of doing by brand is not the way to do it

So have we made the page record yet on this topic? Last checked we were at 22 pages, how many do we have left to meet the world's record?
The Kodachrome thread on APUG was at least 150 pages. Good luck.

my 1972 Minolta srt is not obsolete, still takes killer images. All we need is the Chinese to start making 35mm film
They do and it is not very good. It does not compare to the English, American, German, Czech and Japanese films. Yes, there are still several manufacturers
Even if it is old you will still get images. There will be a color shift among other things. Try it and see what you get.You might like it. Just don't expect perfect results.

Stop calling me Doc.
You aren't funny. This is a photography forum.
Clearly you have nothing to contribute.
Go find a chat room.
Everyone report him.
Don't kid yourself. All I have found this to be is a camera and photoshop forum.
Ugh not this novice's argument again. I use many different cameras for different situations because of their inherent qualities and because I like them as objects. I have cameras made by Canon, Mamiya, Rollei, Voigtlander and Argus. I have a 5DmkII as well as AE1s and A1s. I use Canon because my dad uses Canon. I haven't bought a camera in over 3 years but my photography has improved. It has nothing to with your camera. You and you alone are responsible for your photos being great or being crap.
But of course I break the Canon/ Nikon rule because my Canon film shots are scanned in for web use with a Nikon scanner. Why, because Canon made a great camera with the A1 and Nikon made a great scanner with the Coolscan V. They both make great equipment.

This is what I adhere to as an NPPA member
NPPA Code of Ethics
Visual journalists and those who manage visual news productions are accountable for upholding the following standards in their daily work:
1. Be accurate and comprehensive in the representation of subjects.
2. Resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities.
3. Be complete and provide context when photographing or recording subjects.
4. Avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. Recognize and work to avoid presenting one's own biases in the work.
5. Treat all subjects with respect and dignity. Give special consideration to vulnerable subjects and compassion to victims of crime or tragedy. Intrude on private moments of grief only when the public has an overriding and justifiable need to see.
6. While photographing subjects do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events.
7. Editing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images' content and context. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.
8. Do not pay sources or subjects or reward them materially for information or participation.
9. Do not accept gifts, favors, or compensation from those who might seek to influence coverage.
10. Do not intentionally sabotage the efforts of other journalists.
Ideally, visual journalists should:
1. Strive to ensure that the public's business is conducted in public. Defend the rights of access for all journalists.
2. Think proactively, as a student of psychology, sociology, politics and art to develop a unique vision and presentation. Work with a voracious appetite for current events and contemporary visual media.
3. Strive for total and unrestricted access to subjects, recommend alternatives to shallow or rushed opportunities, seek a diversity of viewpoints, and work to show unpopular or unnoticed points of view.
4. Avoid political, civic and business involvements or other employment that compromise or give the appearance of compromising one's own journalistic independence.
5. Strive to be unobtrusive and humble in dealing with subjects.
6. Respect the integrity of the photographic moment.
7. Strive by example and influence to maintain the spirit and high standards expressed in this code. When confronted with situations in which the proper action is not clear, seek the counsel of those who exhibit the highest standards of the profession. Visual journalists should continuously study their craft and the ethics that guide it.
Keep shooting. Edit later. You can always decide to not publish it but you can't get back an image you didn't take. These are such minor issues. If it is life and death and you can do something to help or are in danger, then stop shooting.
Really, I thought that this forum was primarily amateurs. One can be an advanced amateur. I think the word you are looking for is novice

I have a question to ask you. What purpose does Fujifilm X-E1 serve and is it slide film or print film? I'm always on the lookout for new color slide and print films, both B&W and color. I use both film and digital cameras which makes me a hybrid....well, sort of, anyway! Thanks for answering.
Sincerely,

P.S. I really hope that this whole thing doesn't turn out to be a hoax!
Oh how I wish they were introducing a new film. It is not a dying industry. In fact is starting to level out and come back somewhat.
I am still shooting film, 35mm and medium format. I have my own darkroom. I am in a class using large format right now and might use on my own later. However, I think APUG.org wpuld be a better place if you really want to talk to a lot of film users.
