Re: Vs: [Leica] digital experience(very long)

["Tom Schofield" <tdschofield@email.msn.com>]

The real cheap stuff disappeared, and the prices went way up on the better
stuff since sales volume is so low.  Vinyl albums of current artists can be
obtained from importers of pressings from Japan and Europe, at high prices.
Super 8 even still has a nitch with the film student market.  Even if dgital
takes over, 35mm will be around for a long time to come, even if only as an
art media for we eccentrics.
