KEH: Top Used Camera Sales 2010-2019
KEH is a noted used photography source in the industry. Carrying everything from cameras and lenses to tripods and more, this icon has it all. It also has the list of top selling cameras through its storefront.
While the list includes both digital and film cameras, one notable thing from the list, is that that the SLR format has dominated the 2010s. With the exception of the Mamiya, all are full frame format or smaller SLRs (35mm film is by definition full frame).
While Nikon and Canon dominate the list, in the film category, Pentax claims second place with the venerable K1000. The Canon AE-1 runs away with top film camera spot while the iconic Nikon F3 rounds out the podium. Minolta claims a spot in the top ten list as does the aforementioned Mamiya with the RB67.

Film Ferrania: P30 is Available
For those in Canada and the USA, the Film Ferrania shop is now stocking P30. Not P30 Alpha, but the real deal. At $9.50 for a 36 exposure roll, plus shipping. ISO 80, with rich blacks and wonderful tonality.
Film Ferrania has previously explained their rationale for producing P30 over immediately fulfilling colour E6 slide film perks for their Kickstarter patrons.
With one more film for photographers to choose from, this does provide an upside for backers, though perhaps not what was initially expected.
With success in this area, the ScotchChrome slide film may just be the next step. The project, if one were to follow along, has had a long, complex and winding road to travel. Lesser mortals would have surely quit in the face of recurring, but different, issues with the building, supplies and suppliers.
Congratulations to Film Ferrania for their progress to shipping actual product.
