Here's a few things been crossing my mind. Younger folk who decide to buy retro stuff have a different view of the value of money, and don't have any historical perspective on what things "should" cost. So they are less likely to think a price is too high from the get-go. And they may have enough …

Sony A7 is nice but not affordable. Starts at 500 CDN and up. Cheers, Sure, I wasn't responding to you - for that I suggest looking at Olympus EM5II with 14-150 lens, seemed to tick a lot of your boxes. I was suggesting the A7 (can be obtained here in the UK for about £300) as a better alternative …

This though... sell a kidney now in case there's one production run ever? wait for original price to slide down a bit? wait for knockoffs? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/samellos/im-back-film Micro 4/3 sensor plus a frontal 0.45 wide angle? No thanks. I love the idea though. There have been …

The two profiles are on the same computer running on the same windows 10 install. Edit: problem solved. Turned out the software was waiting for network I/O. I had a previous connection to an old Mac drive still showing in ThisPC, and when I deleted that the software ran fine. I wouldn't have …

No, it's from a reputable Japanese company, it's something that's been around for many years and having reinstalled winodws (which took ages of course) I've now found that the software runs fine on another profile on the same PC - loads within seconds. But on my main profile it goes into a Not …

Yeah. It made watching a film more of an event, you had to go out and forage for something. The films I watched back then are often more memorable than much of what I watch today, and had a lasting influence on me - and finding obscure videos and DVDs in shops was more mind-expanding than on-line …

But the thought of this generation having to die for prices to drop occurred to me also. It's much akin to the value of things like tube radios and train sets. Those have dropped MASSIVELY from what they were when I was a kid. I've been noticing some old toys seem to be a lot cheaper than I was …

younger people are continually being introduced to it. Yes, and it's also surprising how many youngsters are into older stuff from the get go, I guess remembering what their parents used when they were children. My 25-ish daughter's bf runs a 1980/90s car. She uses a Fed 4 camera (as well as …

The "capacitor plague" was a convergence of many issues which caused premature capacitor failure for the better part of the late 90s and 2000s. Fair enough if wikipedia is not giving the full story - is that edit a reasonable summary? Anyway, the OP's issue seems to be about capacitors literally …
