Where do I find 35mm talk?

Try a moderated forum dedicated to traditional photography...like
www.apug.org

This is the answer, Ric.

Knowledgeable people who are highly dedicated to the art and craft of
traditional photography. There is a dedicated 35mm forum and a separate
rangefinder forum with a high percentage of 35mm input. The site as a whole
shows most activity for large format cameras and wet darkroom work, but with
about 10,500 members and around 500 posts per day of solid photographic
info, there is something meaningful there for everyone.

It makes this place look somewhat like a loony bin...

Film and Democracy in Amerika are both dead!

I went to the 35mm photo newsgroup and found everybody is talking about
Bush. If I go to a political newsgroup, will they be talking about
cameras?
If I go to a sex newsgroup will they be talking about Jesus and his
coming
return? What about if I go to a Christian newsgroup, will I see dirty
pictures? How do you work these newsgroups anyway? Ric.



Consider yourself lucky that they are currently discussing politics;
otherwise many of these characters would be chanting "Digital roolz!" and
"Film is dead!"

Thanks for the link Ken. I was not aware of this site.... looks like a
great place.

Hi Rich,

It is. The SN ratio is almost a "divide by zero" error...

The vast majority of topic and posting moderation is self-inflicted as well,
as these guys show no interest in the kinds of nonsense that passes for -
and is endlessly justified as somehow being - normal here. They get on with
it.

And for anyone else reading, never forget that one's time in this world is
terrifyingly short. So remember what Coach Carter said. "Life is full of
choices. Choose wisely."

P.S. Credit is to "Mike" who originally posted the link.

Too much digital talk here, I don't mind digital talk, but I would go
to a Digital user group for that.

"The vast majority of topic and posting moderation is self-inflicted as

moderation/expulsion that keeps everyone in line, or else you would see the
looneys that show up here show up there, and you would see off topic
discussions as well. As such, your statement has little meaning.

Sadly you don't find a whole lot of 35mm talk here either. The digitals
have taken it over.

A number of people have complained stating that the digitals should go to the
digital groups to post but at the time nobody cared.

Every rare once in a while I agree with Tony Spadaro. This is one of
those times.
