No, not a blog. I was thinking of a forum like this one where many people hang out and talk about film photography and other things. But, I have no problem with listing a photography blog.

Hello. The short answer is, "no". Sometimes I make less than minimum wage. I've repaired cameras since 1978 and I now repair more out of habit to give myself something to do. I closed my shop a few years and I was bored, I reopened it. It takes about three days to go through a classic 35mm film camera and the prices I charge don't pay enough to cover my time. If I were starting over I would learn to repair digital cameras, not film. I hope this helps. Kori_35

Are there any more? It seems like there should be more Classic 35mm film camera forums. Thanks for your help. I've Googled my question, but I only seem to find dead forums that have not had posts in years. I am seeking active forums like this one. Thanks By the way, I own a small repair shop, that's why I'm trying to add forum sources to my Source page for people who use classic film cameras.

I am making a list of Film Camera Forums on my webpage. It's a website source page. Does anyone here know of other Film Camera Forums I might visit and list on my website?

<p>Thank you Jim. I'll order a few sheets and see how it works on classic 35mm cameras. l'm mainly in the business of restoring these cameras, not so much repairing them although most do need repair also. I hate to install non-factory foam. It always screams 'amateur' to me, as I have seen too much amateur work where they install hard gray foam or black twine. I can't always restore a camera to factory condition, but I do try. As I get older the money is not so much a factor as doing the best work I can to make these old classics look and function properly. It never occurred to me that I would not be able to get factory foam for these cameras or I would have stocked up for the years ahead. Micro-Tools told me the Japanese company which made the foam went out of business. Imagine, a whole world and not one company makes original factory foam for these cameras.</p>

<p>Hello. I'm looking for some: Light Baffle, 1mm 25cm x 12cm sold by Micro Tools. If you closed your repair shop and have some, I would like to buy it. Also, I would be interested in any old repair cameras or tools you might have for sale. I am still in business repairing classic 35mm cameras part time. (I'm 68.) Anyway, I really need that Light Baffle, 1mm for my camera work. I've looked at substitute foams, but they do not look factory. I am positive that some closed camera shop out there has some sheets of it laying around. I sure would like to buy it, plus any other items to help keep my shop running. Customers come to be pleading for my services to fix their old classic 35mm cameras, but I have to turn many of them away for lack of time or parts. <br> To contact me go to: abilenecamera.com or email: acrkori@gmail.com<br> Kori, ACR</p>

<p>I forgot to add my email address to my post.<br> contact@abilenecamera.com</p>

<p>If any camera repair shop owners are reading this, I need some:<br /><a href="http://www.micro-tools.com/product.htm?pid=142619&cat=14011" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Light Baffle, 1mm 25cm x 12cm</a><br />that was sold by Micro Tools. They listed it as Imported Light Baffle. They are sold out at the moment, but I need it now for camera work. Does anyone, or any camera shop, have some sheets of this they would sell me? Does anyone here know where I can buy some, or perhaps some camera shop I can contact?<br />Thanks for any response.<br />Azel Cory</p>

<p>Thanks Paul. I've tired some of these foams you suggest, but none of them look original. They look dark gray and dense. I need some foam that looks like the original foam that the camera came with like the Light Baffle 1mm sold by Micro Tools. It's black and porous. </p>

<p>Thanks John, I'll check out those links and the Classic Manual Camera forum. </p>

<p>Does anyone here know where I can find a web site or forum where they discuss camera repair for classic film cameras?</p> <p>Thanks<br> Azel</p>
