Re: [APML] Film is not dead

Hi bobby,

I asked my friend about this question and the answer is negative.
There are a few telescope shops who sell used astronomical 
instruments, but not open forums like astromart.  Sometimes 
there are used astro-stuffs on Japanese Yahoo but the salers 
usually don't want to deal with forgien buyers because of language
problems.  

Do you have anything to buy in your mind?  I might be able to 
help you.  I just bought a used 120 (6x9) film holder from Mitsuboshi
in Japan.  (I believe Mitsuboshi is Hutech's partner.)  They helped
me to modify the film holder so I can use my Mamiya 645 lenses
(in particular, 200mm/F2.8) on it.  

Cheers,

Wei-Hao
