THE LATEST NEWS IN THE SUBMINI WORLD


FILM OPTIONS NARROW (11/25/04)

If you want to use your submini in the future, the best thing to do is have a fully; stocked freezer.  Film, especially film that subminis can use, is drying up -- largely due to the use of digital cameras.  The same is true of photographic paper as well.  Ilford is now in serious financial trouble and may never make film and paper again. Efke is in bankruptcy and has similar prospects.  Kodak and Agfa have been cutting film and will likely cut more soon.  Some firms in Europe and China will likely pick up some business as a result, but your favorite film and paper likely has a short life expectancy.

Goathill, a major supplier to subminis, has been cutting films as they are dropped from the manufacturers.
