Nah, I gave up on 35mm a long time ago... I do miss Tri-X Pan and different chemistries, including stuff from Perfection Photographic Products, which allowed me to push Tri-X to 6400 and still get grain-free photos with terrific contrast. Great for shooting sports.
Though I had my OM-2, I also had a Nikon FM-2 (I used mostly Tamron Adaptall lenses) I used for sports photos, and it was amazing to be able to freeze the action at f-16 & 1/4000sec outside.

I check the same list for 2012. Most of the brands on the list are still around. Just sayin’....
I had a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000 GT. What a great car!
Also, this will upset WesternCulture. Volvo is one of his major bragging points.
It won’t happen, because of the “fortune teller paradox”.
That is, most people have a pretty good idea what their fortune holds, so that is not why they go to a fortune teller. Instead they go in the vain hope that somehow, the fortune teller can magically change their future for them.
So fortune tellers will be around as long as there are people who want to get something for nothing.
Oddly, not on the list were:
Liberals.
Democrats.
Liberal Democrats.
Liberal Media.
Liberal Media Democrats.
Thanks SeekAndFind.
It was obvious their current crop running things was leftist. Cycle World has been a joke forever. Luckily I have lost interest in these things compared to my younger years, so no great loss.
Look at the ugly uniforms they wear. Not all the players are bull-dyke, hairy-legged beasts. But they certainly have the most unattractive uniforms of any female sports. By contrast, look at women’s volleyball team uniforms. Lots of leg. The WNBA players look like they’re wearing potato sacks by comparison. Not that changing to more attractive unis would make the league, but it couldn’t hurt.
My first 35mm cameras were Minoltas (which I think morphed into the Sony line). I hated to see them go out of business. I wish my Nikon digital SLR was as easy to work as that old Minolta XG-1.
I’ve never owned an Olympus, but I hate to see competition disappear, it keeps everyone on their toes.
No, Bronco Bama's going to rename it GBSA, appoint a Czar and make it a Federal Agency.
I loved the design of the Olympus cameras. If I recall, they were the first cameras permitted in the court rooms, because their shutters were so quiet.
“I hope Nook can survive. In my opinion, it’s a superior e-reader compared to the Kindle.”
Nook killed itself. B&N has done a horrible job with authors. Amazon pays on time and pays the correct amount on time, every time.
If you look at the reviews for B&N, you will find non-payment/late payment and mis-payment as the largest grips about the content side of the business.
If you can’t do a good job with the content providers, you will fail.
Nonsense.
Volvo Car may go under, but Volvo Semi Truck is still owned by Sweden and is still going strong.
I hope the car doesn't go away we have owned them for years and have always found them to be comfortable, reliable and very safe.
Although we haven't bought one since the company was taken over by the Chinese so all of the above may have changed.
Can understand that... I still have my Minolta XD-11... ;-)
“Really, its just about the only place I learn about new releases.”
Not sure if you are talking about books or music, but being one of those old farts, I still buy CD’s. There’s a store next door that my wife shops at. I’d go to B&N and check out all the new music. They have these listening stations where you just scan the CD and get about a minute of each song.
About a year and a half ago, every time I scanned new CD it came back, ‘not in system.’ Finally one of the employees told me - management had decided to stop paying for the updates, so the newest music on there would be something like Nov of 2011.
Now the punch line.
Of course you can still listen to the new music on line.
(Why don’t they just tell me to go away and be done with it?)
The liberal women (womyns?) might still be able to snap these up at CarMax:
R&T killed itself with the new editorial staff they installed after the takeover & purge. (notice the gratuitous use of the ampersand) I’ll miss Peter Egan’s writing and most of Dennis Simanaitis’, but the rest of the new crowd can take a hike.... er, I guess that is what they will be doing.
Yes, R&T has always been a bit snooty, fawners over Teutonic iron and inflicters of Som Posey on motoring readership. But they are a whole lot better than the sophomores over at C&D.
Too bad someone can’t resurrect Sports Car Graphic.
Cars as appliances and the web have done in the mags. Sites like The Truth About Cars show a little hope.
I don’t know if Minolta is still in business or not.
A few years ago they merged with Konica then a few years after that, they sold their camera division to Sony. I was glad to see that Sony kept the “A” mount lenses as I had a bunch of them.
I thought the company was dead then a couple of years after that, I saw the “Minolta Gator Bowl”. Sort of surprised me as I had assumed they were gone.
The cover of that magazine got me started with car interest in the ealy 60's with a great cover photo of a red (what else?) Ferrari Testa Rossa: 
I was smitten forever.
