I have an issue! I like to test, but & use film cameras as a hobby. I now have over 250 different cameras organized. All work. I’ve tried the discipline of sticking to 1-2 cameras but I’ve come to the realization that part of the hobby for me is using different cameras & formats

Home developing tip: before loading film on a plastic reel I clip the corners like this. I do this in the light if the leader is out or in the dark bag by feel if not. I've found this stops the corners of the film curling & getting caught in the reel grooves making loading easier

OK, based on feedback today here's an updated list. Again, I LIKE repackaged film because it adds to what's available & raises interest thru cool marketing. However, I think everyone should know what they are buying so they can make informed decisions with their money.
