discontinue E6 processing. The times are a changing folks.

Sad indeed. I just bought a 16 X 20 Leedal tray ladder from them a couple of
months ago. It was a special order, which took some time. No one else listed
this item and, although Leedal is still in business, it's not on their
website, so no one would know about it. I may have got the last one
available in the US.

Calumet Photo Closes In the U.S.

Calumet Photographic Inc., now headquartered on Bliss Street in Chicago,
Illinois, USA, just announced the closing of its U.S. stores. The
announcement appeared on its Facebook page this morning, and its extensive
website is no longer online.

As near as I can figure, the announcement affects Calumet's 12 U.S. stores,
whereas 20 European locations will continue in business. (But don't quote me
on those numbers-they're derived from the Wikipedia page.)
Calumet Photo, which was founded in 1939 by Kenneth Becker, was for many
years based in a large combined office/retail complex in Bensenville,
Illinois, northwest of Chicago. It began by catering to large format
photographers, and made its own line of large format cameras until 1983. It
also marketed a well-known line of rebranded view camera lenses called
Caltars. The stores were active in photographic education, hosting classes
and demonstrations. Most stores had classroom space, where the public was
welcomed at no charge.
Calumet had previously absorbed a number of stores orphaned by the
bankrupcies of once-well-known chains such as Ritz Camera, and Penn Camera
in the D.C. area.
