The total number who were shooting film: two. Me, and a fellow who was firing away on a Zorki (with Ilford). Several people asked me about my camera (the Bessa R2a) and wondered where you can still get film for it. One answer was my local (Wynnewood) camera store, which is now closing for good (having not exactly made a graceful transition from analog to digital). I purchased all their 35mm film for $1.50 a roll, including all the Kodachrome. While it was nice to get a bargain on a lot of things I wanted (such as a new lightbox and Schneider loupe), it was also sad to see them slide into the muck. Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA
