Even better!

To the topic, it's sad and even more sad is I never manage to try it.

I guess Paul Simon's going to have to come out of retirement and write a new song.

I suppose one could do something with 'Digital Image Capture'.

With Agfa already gone since long, that leaves only Fuji with a full product range for films and slides, or do I miss one premier film manufacturer? It's been some time since i bought an analoge film.

Maybe I'm sentimental, but it is sad nevertheless; for slides Kodachrome was my premier choice.

Ah, yes, I completely forgot them. Never used them anyway, since I never did much black-and-white, for which they were famous in the past.

Ahahah, I reply that way because I thought you were only refering to color film and slides manufacters. I do not know if Ilford has slide films.
Since I develop bw at home, ilfords films are in memory. At least they are also simple to work it, since kodak, even if their emulations are better and etc, I tend to always have pink spots after developing. They always need fresh fixer and more time than the ilfords!
