And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Something that was once everywhere, and is now nowhere.
B&H is great! When I had film cameras I used to get a regular order of a pack of 12 rolls each month. The week after the house burned down (with the cameras inside) the last order of film (Fuji Slide) showed up. It's still sitting in a draw somewhere. Interesting thing was the insurance adjuster said that they would be happy to compensate me for the cost of the film I had purchased for all the pictures I had taken and lost in the fire; if I had receipts. I contacted B&H and they emailed me copies of the film stock orders for the last ten years, netted (roughly) another thousand on the settlement.
I've still got my Canon AE-1 and four lenses for it gathering dust because no film.
ReplyDeleteWill those lenses will fit a digital camera?

DeleteDon't know. Haven't researched it. One of my sons tells that some older Nikon lenses work with the new digital cameras.
DeleteFor Nikon, if the lens has the silver tab to engage the meter in the camera it will NOT fit on the Nikon DSLRs.
DeleteIf it has the notch in the fstop ring it probably will. Mine do.
Obviously they only work in manual mode...
B&H photo still sells Kodak film. You can buy it online.

Amazon sells it, too. And CVS will ship it off for development.
