With the news that Fujifilm are finally discontinuing production of APS (Advanced Photo System) film, yet another film format is detined for the scrap heap.
I think 35mm is safe for a while longer though, along with 120. However, for ever is a long time and the writing in the very long term is firmly upon the wall.
Farewell to APS

Take only pictures, Leave only footprints ........
Возьмите только фотографии, оставить только след .........
Always ask yourself this question: “am I proud of this shot?” if the answer is “yes” then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

Re: Farewell to APS
Don't worry about film it will be around for a very long time yet. I was wondering why digital photographers want film to disappear, but then it struck me, They know we are right and they really know they should be shooting film. 
Like a good wine that has been aged to perfection against a cheep plonk that promises all but fails to deliver.

I am currently looking for a really good Pentax film body. I have just had fixed a Super A but I would really prefer an MX, KM, ME Super or LX.
I intend to shoot some film.....
