Actually what is getting hard to find at your basic drug/grocery store is slide
film. I had been out of the hobby end of photography for a number of years,
mostly shooting family gatherings, holidays, vactions, ect and had been using
print film for the past few years. Early last summer shen I went to pick up some
chrome film I was shocked to find it was only readily available through the
local camera shops! I realize that fewer and fewer people shoot slide film, but
it seemed odd to me that my local drug store had two different B&W films and no
chromes!
