I have shut down my wet color film/print operation due to the severe decline in film quantity. I went from 30-100 rolls/day two years ago; to about 30 rolls/month. I simply could not keep the chemistry working properly. Now the only processing for film available in Laramie, Cheyenne, Rawlins and for that matter probably most of Wyoming is by using Wal-mart or depositing envelopes at the grocery stores. I think there still might be a working film lab in Sheridan or Gillette. That means, at the most, there is only one working, privately owned, stand alone, film lab in Wyoming serving a population of 500,000 and an area of 92,000 square miles. No E-6 available in the state since I shut that down in 2006. I am now, and have been for some time, been specializing in large ink-jet printing, copy and restoration, scanning, portrait & commercial photography. I am in the process of creating a new web presence and that will be up by the first of the year. Retail photo items are currently limited to bags and accessories. The big-box stores and manufacturers distribution systems virtually killed the digicam market for the small underfinanced dealer. I can purchase most digicams at Staples for less than from my distributors. Same thing for media cards and card readers. I need to totally liquidate ALL of my used film camera items to generate needed capital for new bigger printers & high-speed film scanner (for what is perceived as archiving or at least computer viewing older strips of negatives). I have a large inventory of small camera bags, mostly M-Rock and Delsey. Also some Bogen 190 tripods and heads. Also available is a wonderful Bogen multi-adjustable panoramic head for $300.00 REASONABLE OFFERS CONSIDERED ON EVERYTHING. I DO NOT DO THE AUCTION SITE OR PP. I can take a cc over the phone or MO or personal check. Shipping is via Priority Mail (mostly flat rate boxes).
