<p>I have heard good things about Dwayne's. It's just sad you can no longer take your film to the local drug store or photo lab and get your pictures in a hour. Times are changing and digital has taken over in a lot of ways. Film is not dead though and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. In my case I would like to buy a kit that processes B&W film. I believe in the near future their is going to be a bigger popularity in B&W film that people develop on their own.</p>

<p>Today I went to Walgreens to get my 35mm film put on CDs. The girl at the counter told me all Walgreens nation wide would stop film processing on April 16th of this year. This puts me in a bind living in a small town. It seems like they are trying to kill 35mm film. I need a place I can trust to process the film. I also would like to learn how to develop 35mm B&W film.</p>

<p>Thank you, it is good to hear about other recommended places. I can do the foam my self(-:</p>

<p>All of my Minolta SRT's work great over all even my Pentax K1000. They all need minor repairs and new foam. I have heard about Garry's Camera and Mike the Pentax Guy. Repair cost seem OK at Garry's camera. Is there any one better recommended? I don't want to send a good working camera and have a repair man break it. </p>

<p>Daniel Muller: I am no expert and some others can give you better answers. Of coarse you lose auto focus. Some say you might lose a little image quality. I will tell the old Minolta Rokkors are good lenses. It is a popular thing to adapt these old Rokkors and other SR mount lenses to Sony Cameras. I have seen Rokkors for sale on EBay already adapted for the Alpha and the E mount Sony's. As you know Minolta joined Konica and in 2006 they stopped camera production. KonicaMinolta is still in business doing other things. I am glad Sony bought the camera rights and has carried on the tradition. My favorite is the Sony A7 but I can't afford it.</p>

<p>JDM von Weinberg: I agree that camera collecting should be for fun and not profit. Though it is nice sometimes to find one worth a little bit.</p>

<p>Craig Sherman: I guess you would call it the poor mans collectables in a way. Most of mine are Minolta's. Also I have other brands. It's what ever I get cheap and captures my eye. My collection with photos is in Classic Manual Camera forum under (My Small Camera Collection). I sure would like to ad some Leica's to that collection one day(-:</p>
