Hi Wayne,

My best friend from Denmark is a photography teacher at an art school and he 
tells me that all his students want to do film. During the past month I have 
become the happy owner of an OM4T outfit consisting of two bodies and three 
lenses (28mm, 50mm and 85mm). It is a genuine joy to shoot with these cameras.

I shoot mostly B&W, and there is plenty of choice: Ilford, Foma, Fuji is still 
there, and a number of other smaller brands. In color, I bought a roll of 
Ektachrome at B&H when I was in New York recently.

I just pulled up the web site of a major German online (and brick-and-mortar 
too) shop, Foto Impex. The brands listed are Adox, Agfa, Bergger, Ilford, Kodak 
(TriX), Foma, Fuji (Acros, Provia 100F, Velvia 50 and 100 and also color 
print). Plus a number of obscure brands.

So if you buy the OM4T, you should have no trouble feeding it.

Cheers,
Nathan
