Also according to the December Shutterbug, quoting the Wall Street
Journal, Kodak will stop film R&D. Of course there could be something
already in the pipeline. Kodak might want to lower the grain of E100VS,
and there has been a rumor of a high-saturation ISO 200 slide film.
Also in the same issue:
"The Pentax *ist siblings -- one digital, one film -- makes [sic] so
much sense you wonder why it took so long for somebody to figure that
one out."
And in the "fire the copy editor" department, the December Popular
Photography reviews the FA 77 limited on p. 40. The Table of Contents
tells you to look for the review on p. 52.
The FA 77, btw, looked very good in the review. Now if I could just
figure out why I would need one.
