    The one and only Kodak camera I ever owned was a Brownie, when I was just a wee lass. Can't say I'm going to miss them (Kodak) producing conventional cameras.

    Not only that, one Kodak insider told me both K14 and E6 films will be dropped in the next 2 to 4 years.

    I would guess that not many people use slide film these days, most are going digital, even photojournalists. At least all the ones I know are. And I don't use Kodak film, I use Fuji.

    Sad but true. IMO digital is still not up to par yet as compare to films.

    BTW, I too use almost exclusively FUJI films ... but for colour only (Portra is only Kodak colour films I will use) ... Kodak still make the best B&W films in general IMO.

    Oh, yeah, I do use Kodak, but only B&W. I've tried Fuji's but not the quality I get from TMax....the original, not that new c41 stuff.
