The "Official" story is they are no longer used because the "technology is out-dated". (Yes, they actually said that officially!!!???)
The "you didn't hear this from me" story is someone didn't put them away properly a couple of years ago- left them out in the rain as it were, and they got destroyed by the weather.
So, in either case, they are gone and not to be replaced as of current planning.
I do have a few vids of them I need to edit and get posted sometime. Gives you an idea of how far behind I am in my vid work!
I missed all the great shots (been busy with school). I was not disappointed when I got caught up...WOW. I would have lengthened the thread too much if I had commented on all the great shots!
