Interesting article but not surprising. The more we use film, the longer it will be available.
Different story here :D http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/8525839/Traditional-camera-film-makes-a-come-back.html” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
My little container of film in the fridge is overflowing so not too concerned at the moment, and I think it will be Ilford Harmen and Fuji that will keep the flag flying for film.
I gather from different sources that film will cease production on July 19th 2093. But someone in the meantime has come back with a revised date of Sept.19th 2093. So it looks like 2093 is the year, the date is the 19th. but the month is open to question.
:) Tex.
Personally I think film will be here for a very long time indeed :)
Just purchased a Canon 300V film SLR this month. Happy to have it, learning the film ropes. Only thing is that I now have to write down the EXIF data and that you cant see instant result. However, it adds to the excitement, really.

I’ve had an Eos 300 for about 8 years, I’ve no idea what the difference is between 300 and 300v, probably very little, and I have managed to get some good shots with the 300. Once you get used to the controls, you should get some decent shots with it. Do you have an Eos digital? And did you get a lens with the 300v?
I only have this 300V and a Panasonic DMC-TMZ3. I dont have a digital SLR. I did get a lens with the 300V, its a kit lens, 28-90mm 1.4:5.6
The 300V is the successor to the 300 and has some improvements. In addition to the usual five basic programmed image control shooting modes, the EOS 300V offers a new “flash-off” mode, which disables the built-in flash, or an attached speedlite. The LCD panel has been moved to the back of the camera and is about three times larger than the panel on the EOS 300.
I am going to purchase a D-SLR anytime soon.
Sounds like there were only a couple of changes to the 300v. As I said, the 300 is a good camera, so you should get some good shots once you gt the hang of it, and if you do decide to get a digital, one advantage the Eos digitals have is most, if not all of them, can take the EF lenses that the film cameras use. I have an Eos digital myself, but I still take the 300 out every once in a while, still worth taking some shots on it, I don’t think I will be giving up on film myself.

Thats it Nigel. I have the 300V to learn, but will keep using it, as I think film will produce a better photo when it comes to using grain as part of the photo.
