120 film near SFO
Hi,
I'll be arriving at SFO next week. Is there a good store with 120 near the airport? Velvia 100, 100F, E100G, ... Thanks, Alan -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |

Depends on what you mean by "near", but the nearest might be Keeble and Shuchat in Palo Alto: http://www.kspphoto.com/activepages/main.html; a little further away, but maybe easier to get to, in SF itself, is (of course!) Calumet: http://www.calumetphoto.com/ctl?ac.u...reLocDetail&ac. comp.locID=SF. They both had 120 film when I was last there, but I haven't been to K&S for a while so they may do only digital now. And there's my fave photo store in Berkeley, Looking Glass http://www.lookingglassphoto.com/ which still does film, but it's not near the airport in any sense. Other than, I don't know -- I haven't done film in years -- but I suspect there's not much near the airport itself... Hamish |

There' a store much closer than any of those--Kaufmann's in San Mateo (http://www.kaufmannscameras.com). They used to have another store in San Bruno, which is *very* close to SFO, where I used to shop when I lived there, but unfortunately it closed in 2006. I agree with you; Looking Glass is my favorite also. Say hi to Bruce (Kaplan, owner) next time you're there. -- "Wikipedia ... it reminds me ... of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It drags itself out of the dark abyss of pish, and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash." - With apologies to H. L. Mencken |

Of course, I have that typically snobby Berkeley / City view of the world that ends somewhere around South City and restarts at Palo Alto :-). I agree with you; Looking Glass is my favorite also. Say hi to Bruce (Kaplan, owner) next time you're there. I haven't seen Bruce there for quite some time, unfortunately (but I don't go there very much at the moment -- I'm too afraid I'd probably end up spending all that money I'm trying to save for the Epson 9800 :-)). Is he still the owner? There was some change fairly recently... I've been going there on and off since the days when Peter was the owner and it was down near Alcatraz. A few changes over the years :-). Hamish |

Unless I'm completely wrong, you can still get lots of film products at K&S. They still have their darkroom department, but now it's on the second floor of their main store, the bottom being devoted entirely to digital. Father Kodak |

So far, only Calumet has all the film types I want in stock and have reserved them without pre-payment for me. I've got to call Keeble & Shuchat yet. That would be pretty convenient as we're driving south, not north when we get the car.

That would be pretty convenient as we're driving south, not north when we get the car. They have a collection of cameras lining a few walls, and a small exhibit area. Two store fronts within a block or so of one another. Calumet is fine, but a bit dry and chain-ish. I think you'd like K$S. -- john mcwilliams |
