Rolleiflex 2.8

[Marc James Small]

I may have scored on ot these -- it cost me a
Leica IIIf RDST with Summarit lens, but what the
heck. I have never owned , yes,, this will go of
to Harru Fleenor if adjustments are in order.

We shall see. I need to sell stuff, but all I end up doing is swappin.

Marc, sounds like a good score. What is the date of manufacture? Has anyone on the list heard rumors (however vague) about the possible discontinuance of EK 120 B&W film?

EK 120 B&W film? Is this a typo?

Jonathan

I have not heard anything but the loss of Kodak as a
supplier of 120 size B&W would be serious although Ilford
makes decent tabular grain film. The recent news that
Paramount pictures is discontinuing the use of motion
picture film for distribution is more disturbing. Although
many producers like film for original photography the bulk
of film is used for release prints. An increasing number of
theaters are running on electronic projection. There are
good business reasons for this but its disturbing
nonetheless. I think if the motion picture industry stops
using film, at least in the amounts it has until recently,
Kodak will get out of the film business altogether. I have
no idea what will happen. While EK has sold off parts of its
operations it seem reluctant to license anyone to make film.
I think they still make the best of some products and hold a
huge number of patents on chemical photography. We will
see what happens. Meanwhile Ilford has become the mainstay
of B&W photography. I wonder what will happen to color film
if Kodak quits that business.
