What digital?
When they stop processing film, I might think about it.
Anybody know where I can get an old roll of 120

Just ran across it and, I know what's on it.

I got a digital camera too.
$12 from eBay (including two separate shipments)

I'm not in any hurry.
It would be nice to have some quicky shots for eBay postings.
