cathidaw	Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:06 am I sold all of my developing and printing stuff on e.bay last year and with the dosh bought a Canon slr digitalwhich is my pride., altho' I kept my pentax film camera. The first 'real' slr was a Zenit B which I still have "sentimental"-a completely manual heavy Russian job, which still takes good pics. but I have to use a light meter But last week I bought- for a friend- a Minolta 7000, complete with 2 lenses flashgun ,bag -the lot for £20.00. Now my friend has changed his mind about it -doesn't want it -so this weekend I hope to try it outwith a slide film. Idon't believe film cameras will ever die out.The otherweek Iwent to Focus at the N.e. c and was pleasantly surprised to see all of the new papers and films being launched. My darkroom days are over but not film which can now be sent for development and then printed on the computer.

Shizara	Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 11:42 am I'm a pointNclickaholic. Rather than focus on a few good, well structured or arty piccies I tend to pointNclick... but then you can with digital... then delete any that don't make the grade, unlike films. You pay for developing then see things. It's all fun and good for reflecting upon later. I'm a pointNclickaholic.

Will	Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2007 10:00 am Hi Claire! I don't know of any in Nuneaton, but our Cathi goes to one in Bedworth, that might be worth a look at. There's a post she made in this section somewhere. Welcome to the forums. Hi Claire! I don't know of any in Nuneaton, but our Cathi goes to one in Bedworth, that might be worth a look at.
