    Hey guys –

    Well, the F3 repairs I did worked perfectly and the camera should be good for another 25 years assuming I don’t drop it.

    Zach:

    I’d buy my slide film from B&H. Velvia is about $5.50 a roll and Provia $3.50.

    I’d usually buy 20-40 rolls to get the bulk price and to save on shipping. Store it in the frig or the freezer. I’ve used their A&I film mailers and the service and quality is good. It just takes a while from California.

    The Slide Printer in Denver also has good service and they used to pay postage. You may have a quality mail lab on the east coast there.

    Only ever lost one roll of film and apparently it was the post office’s fault. But it had the best sequence on it of a heron swallowing a fish I had ever taken.   :'(

    The fridge sitting here in my office used to be for film. Now there is more room for beer and snacks

    Makes me want to go out and buy a film camera. 😉

    Did I mention that the pro lab here in the Raleigh area has cut way back on E-6 processing?

    I’m headed to NC early next month to see my first grandchild for the first time and have resolved to shoot some film along with the digital, just to see how they compare.
