[Leica] Fill Shooting today (still looking for 5222 bulk) $2.50 SRT FTb etc

[Jim Nichols]

Back in the 50s, I bought Plus-X in 50 ft rolls, and it was really cheap 
to use, and worked fine.  When I was in the USAF, we even bought 
Kodachrome in bulk, and found a way to get mailers, so that Kodak 
processed it and mounted it, until they caught on to what was going on.
