If you didn't stock up on Kodachrome while you had the chance you might as well set the 35mm cameras on the shelf as curiosities. -- Kevin Powers Woodbury, MN

In about a thousand years, it will be a valuable antique, just like my Pentax 645s'. DC

Build a darkroom and learn to do your own developing and enlarging. or.. get something like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FujiFilm-Mini-Lab-FP362BAL-Optical-Film-Photo-Processor-FP-362B-AL-Minilab-/150793775127?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item231c026817 a drug-store style mini-processor. 10 minutes 32s developing time! you will need 240VAC though. since the start of the digital era, a lot of these little machines are available for a fraction of their original selling price. -----Original Message----- From: mark ward Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 11:16 AM To: List KLR Subject: [DSN_KLR650] 35mm cameras?

Especially on bike; durability wise Olympus digi's are tough. Bought one for my son in USMC who put it through 2 combat tours in Afghanistan where it/he sustained numerous explosions, sand etc. and still takes good photos even with the dents in it.It is water tight to 12m and shock proof. I know that wasn't Mark's original question but the older 35's are big and clunky, especially on the bike. I have an old Minolta XD11 that my daughter still uses for black and whites but thats about it. Still hard to get rid of it....... ________________________________ From: Ken To: mark ward ; List KLR DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 2:44 PM Subject: RE: [DSN_KLR650] 35mm cameras?
