I was given some unused cibachrome paper recently but as far as I know you cannot use them anymore.anyone have a use for them.

A couple of years ago my niece turned 30. I compiled and printed some photos I had taken of her and family over the years. I presented an old fashioned photo album full of pics to her.At the time...

I don't. The same question could be asked about when they stopped making 35mm cameras. I have a beautiful compact polaroid 35mm point and shoot camera.

Yes just about anything is available at a price and as soon as someone talks up film gear it increases the used value.I have more than enough gear to not have to buy another camera. But we get ...

I think I got interrupted in sending my post.I meant to also add that these lenses and system are well worth it. I sold them because I was trying to de clutter and I knew I could get a good price. ...

Yes I will be doing that. I recently sold my Pentax 645 outfit so this will be my main Medium Format camera although I still have a Pentax 6x7.cheers.

Thanks for your response. I have also a number of close up filter lenses for my retina but have never tried them. They were common back in the day so I guess people knew how to use them...

In my collection I have a small 1950's rangefinder that clips onto the hotshoe of any old film camera and you then transfer the measured distance to your focus ring.Ideal for some of the cameras...
