    I have some photography homies that mainly use digital but have some old canon SLRs for the novelty. I’m a fairly technical person so I asked them about how film works. In the hour or so we talked about the chemical reactions and iso numbers, it was clear that there are only a handful of companies that can produce film stock. Developing it(as in turn it into a picture) can be done by almost anyone, there are thousands of commercial developers in the States, but maybe six manufacturers of stock.
