Advertisement Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Hi bags27, Take a look here Film Cameras Are Roaring Back (NY Times). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
250swb Posted January 17, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2022 I replied to a thread yesterday saying that eighteen months ago you could have made more money (sorry, 'invest in') by buying ten Nikon's for the price of one M2. It's still similar although the gap is now narrowing even more, a Nikon FM2 is far less threatening than an M2 for the film dabbler, so easier to buy, but the price is still increasing pro rata. The argument about lenses is moot, Nikon made excellent classic lenses and they are far, far cheaper than anything secondhand in the Leica stable. That said the Leica M is the pinnacle, people will continue to aspire to it over an SLR, but SLR's are the easy collectibles right now. I think Leica SLR's will be the next 'thing' to rapidly show a premium. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted January 17, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 17, 2022 Forget those ten YO "news". It is as old as vinyl comeback. Less old news, those are also buying typewriters. Where is store or two in Toronto which sells them for hipsta. https://www.torontotypewriters.com/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is for you to decide. Your smart, but unfunny, remark would seem to indicate that there would be nothing there for you, but a lot of other people enjoy camera fairs. In my country many people read the death notices in the newspapers every day and they would never miss the death notices on the local radio, usually after the 10 am news. It takes all sorts.

philipus Posted January 18, 2022 Share #13 Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) I for one thought it was an interesting article, old news or not, so thank you Ken for posting the link. As much as I'm in favour of the world becoming more interconnected and digital I think it is telling that younger generations realise that there's value in, well, 'analogue' things, be it film, printed photos, LP records or something else. It's one of the things which makes me doubt the hype about the metaverse. About obituaries though, it's always the first thing I read in the Economist (which is the only newspaper we subscribe to). I find them oddly reassuring somehow. After that I read the books and arts section and then the science section. And then I skip the remainder of the magazine. I've come to realise that I lead a much happier life if I ignore the news. Edited January 18, 2022 by philipus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
