Modern Usage
There are still labs remaining in North America and the UK able to develop unprocessed disc film. Examples are as of March 2012:
- Film Rescue International
- Rapid Photo Imaging Center Inc. International, USA
- Process C-22 UK, Europe and Australia
- Blue Moon Camera & Machine USA
- Dwayne's Photo USA
Disc film is not available to purchase new due to the very complex design. No manufacturers remain, nor are any likely to recommence production.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or usage:
“Though collecting quotations could be considered as merely an ironic mimetism—victimless collecting, as it were ... in a world that is well on its way to becoming one vast quarry, the collector becomes someone engaged in a pious work of salvage. The course of modern history having already sapped the traditions and shattered the living wholes in which precious objects once found their place, the collector may now in good conscience go about excavating the choicer, more emblematic fragments.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
