I heard on the news and it made me really sad.

@grecican Of COURSE this is happening. Kodak makes my favorite films, Portra and Tri-X. So, naturally, since everything I touch turns to caca, they are floundering. Saddddd Panda. :(

That i too bad. My fit digital camera and what really got me started on photographic journey was a Kodak Easyhare.

I saw this on the news. So sad. :(

@beautifulthing I think Ima blow a large sum of money and stock up on Tri-X...

@hmgphotos Dude, I think you might be right. Know of any places with good bulk prices on it, besides Amazon? It's like $8 a roll at the camera shop.

[Heidi Gurov]

@beautifulthing B&H and Adorama are usually reasonable, I think under $4/roll. Denver Pro Photo also has it for reasonable, and they do bulk discounts.

@hmgphotos Oh that's right - I keep forgetting to go there. I'm going to check out B&H and Adorama. I'm nervous as shizznit about the idea of running out, although I guess, if they do go under, it might be inevitable. :(

[Heidi Gurov]

@beautifulthing $3.75/roll from B&H plus shipping for 120, $3.35/roll for 35mm if I remember right... I just went and looked, since I have to buy a new lens hood, too. I have a ton in the freezer, but I like to hoard film...

@hmgphotos Holy SMOKES. I'm on it. I don't even need my freezer. It's not like I cook.
