Dare to dream that one day there is enough resurgence in Film interest that Kodachrome might make a reappearance. Even if it was pricy and development options were limiter, I bet it would sell like hotcakes.

Trollin' around for other stuff, came across these old Kodak ad pieces from the '20's and '30's. Poor scans but interesting:

I'd buy a film camera if they started making IR film again.

I still have a couple SLRs packed away 20 years ago somewhere, one has about 5 pounds of extra lenses. Be interesting to see if 35mm will make a come back in this day of digital everything. All we need is film and antique batteries!

I still have a Canon T-70 that I still would love to go out and shoot with.

There are several companies that make film these days. Kodak, Ilford, Fuji.

Film is easy to find, thought not cheap. I've put up a few images with T-Max and processed here. Batteries? Not with my F-2 Nikon unless I ~need~ a meter, and the FM is totally manual. No batteries required.

And a good manual workhorse SLR camera for dependability is a Pentax K-1000.

So some are making the film? But where can you get it developed? I never had the equipment to develop film. Walmart used to do it but I don't think they develop anymore.

There are plenty of outfits doing the service, a quick search of "film developers" will get a list. The pharmacy chain CVS here in the southeast will do it: C-41 (print emulsion), slide film or B&W. Gotta be a service closer to you.
