Regarding the company, Film for Classics, I spoke with them about a year ago and they no longer sell film other than 620 and 127-not even 828. I suppose that the stock for the larger sizes dried up and the demand for 828 disappeared.

For readers' information, Film for Classics can be contacted at P.O. Box 486, Honeoye Falls, NY 14472; (716) 624-4945.

My 20 year old NiCd batteries in my flash unit finally gave out. Since replacements are no longer available, I recently had them rebuilt by Battery Wholesale, 1515 W. Alexis Rd, Toledo, OH 43612; (800) 701-4008. The batteries are like new.

Thought you might be interested in knowing about this service.

I am desperately seeking someone who knows where can I get lens hoods, filters, prism finder, flash bracket and accessories for my Rollieflex twin-lens reflex. I've got three lenses, the f/2.8 Xenotar, an f/2.8 Planar and an f/3.5 Planar and I am still using the camera and lenses for my weddings and family portraits. Pictures taken with this camera are of the same quality as those taken with my Hasselblad and the camera is lightweight. Hoping for your immediate response.
