    Tri-X Ortho in large and medium formats, Kodachrome and Recording 2475 in 35mm.

    I've mostly always used HP5 in b&w, so I'm still good there, but I'd love the easy availability of Rodinal, and Edwal Platinum was wonderful stuff. That I miss.

    In papers, Kodak Ektalure G and X.

    Both Rodinal (under various names, and there are two different formulas available, an older one and a classic that was Rodinal for the last decades of Agfa - admitedly confusing) and Edwal Platinum are available at Freestyle and certainly elsewhere:

    What does Kodak actually make these days? I know they still make some film and they design point-n-shoot cameras that are made in Japan and China, but how do they stay in business?

    Well, nowadays, Kodak is ripping apart pieces of their house and burning them to keep warm. Good luck with that, long-term. Case in point, they've sold off their silver-recovery unit and their digital sensor manufacturing in the last month. And they are trying to sell off their patents in order to stave off bankruptcy for another few months.
    CEO Perez (a H-P exec) bet the company on ink-jet printing. Like film, a low-margin, declining business.

    Actually, what I miss most is the photo stores, where one could get most any paper or chemical, browse used equipment, drool over new stuff that one couldn't afford, get advice, and so on.

    However, I was pleasantly shocked to recently learn that the store in which I purchased my first "real" camera - a Kodak 35 with RF but without synch. in 1973 or so - is still open, still handling film, and still looks about the same. Used stuff in the same corner, too .

    Agree. I miss the photo stores, the film developers, and the printers. I miss Calypso Imaging. Life is becoming more a vending machine.
