Another great selection this week, Jim. I was especially interested in the ‘shoot-out’ between Foma and Kentmere. Although I’m a digi-man now, I want to use my film cameras now and then to keep them from seizing up, etc. I just ordered some Foma 400 and Fuji C200 and I’m looking forward to making some photos with it.
You do have to shoot the film gear from time to time to keep it limber! Two good choices of film there.
