I haven't seen a film developer in several years.
I can only guess that big cities have one here and there
with the machines of Kodak and Fuji that still support film.

That is why I was forced into digital - I like it - it is more flexible.
But I do have a mint in Nikon cameras and lenses.  The Nikon's also fit
my telescope
but I figure a cold camera some day for that.

I'll have to pick up a camera mag and see if there are services available.

I used to do my own black and white and Ektachrome.  Those days seem so
long ago.
Hum - wonder what I have in the storage box.  That is another issue -
where to buy
chemicals. - I suppose mail order or ???Amazon??? :-)
