A lot of stuff has been killed off. We've got tons of assorted gear and supplies still in storage from the shop which will likely go to the tip one day.

Anybody want to buy a Linhof in pristine condition?

Can't recall the exact model off the top of my head, but they're all more or less like this:

Worth about seven grand last I looked.

Still on of the best cameras to take high quality pictures with.

Can one still buy film for these cameras?

I doubt it will ever go completely out of production. This is a niche that isn't going to disappear anytime soon.

Yeah I seen a thing on TV not so long ago and they reckon that they will always make film of all sorts as people like different things but you'll pay more as the need isn't there due to computers but some film/movie/picture makers and pro's that still use dark rooms will still want it, sort of like B&W photos, I still think they make a good photo but colour does have it's place

Its not that so much, as certain industrial uses where film can't be replaced.

it's only a matter of time as when I was at the hospital and me mate Kyle showed me around the new scanners he showed me the new creamy coloured boxes that they use instead of x-ray film and he did tell me the prices but I've forgotten sorry and also the weights and something about you can drop it from a certain hight and only once or something and then they have to go back to get fixed but the prices he said were just BS

By mixing the best of new technology (dslr cameras) and old technology (bellows and fixed lenses) some truly amazing results can be achieved.!
Editing programmes allow easy conversion from colour to black and white.!!
