Is that the Canon in the photo? I have an article about one just like that in a book somewhere… quite impressive.
Film isn’t really that hard to buy or get processed now (albeit expensive) - I’ve bought from Walkens here in Australia, and they do mail order processing too. I haven’t used their processing though - I’ve only done B&W and developed it myself using Cinestill monobath. Next time I’d like to try a more traditional development.
Oh right, I’ll have to look that up! Interesting about the IR stuff too.
@lphilpot Thanks for the timeline! 
Very nice selection. Nothing wrong with not being a gearhead. 
Edit: I just had a look at the website I linked above, and there is a lot more ‘out of stock’ labels then I remembered last year… still a workable selection though…
