This is my first post here and i have a question.
I'm an  amateur in field of photography and sadly don't have the time to
increase my knowledge of it.
I am going to Tunisia this month and I'm bringing my Minolta 2xi dynax with

I heard a news item yesterday, that I summarize as follows.
Last December, the Swiss parent corporation of Mystic Labs closed the
company, putting 122 people out of work.  On August 29th, the former CEO
of Mystic and seven other former employees opened ABC Photo in Mystic,

Had a bad experience with a "professional" lab today-- work done late,
incorrectly, not as promised/expected, and extremely disorganized.  I don't
want to go into details or trash anyone so I won't name the place, but
here's what I'm looking for:

Designed and made in a partnership between Fuji and Ilford. Supposedly a cross
between XP-2 and Neopan 400. Has anyone used it yet? If so, what do you think
of it? I really like the two emulsions, so I am quite anxious to try it.
Thanks

Any tips on who to choose from the high street to get good quality
prints from 35mm?
I'm in Manchester (work in Altrincham) if that helps.
Thanks

Is it possible for these labs to scan to memory card?  Are the options to
do this obvious or at least documented with the equipment?  Many minilabs
now scan to cdrom, and they can read from memory cards (for printing), so
it would seem like it should be possible.

Anybody know where I might find any original (not al doyles fakes)
minolta-16 cassettes with plastic case??
Thanks

Further to some recent discussion that E100G is less sharp (has less
acutance) than E100VS even though it's also finer-grained, here are some
numbers.
The "sharpness" number is the MTF at 40 cycles/mm for the green layer.  E200

Any opinions about these new films?
I'm about to try E100GX for astrophotography.  According to the data sheet,
it has almost no reciprocity failure, and it has a sharp peak at 650 nm,
which means it should pick up nebulae well.

I just wonder how long would be the processing time for Fujifilm slide
mailer, thanks.
and can I check my slide status from internet?? I can not find any
website relative to it.

What are the chemical formulas for the E6 process?

My camera has 2 pins for 2 and 4 areas. What films I can use?
Some one told that ISO 200 film my camera gets as 100 (overexpose?);
400 as 400. TRUE?!
I saw the table of codes and think that my camera -

I have never ever used a scanner for anything. However I am interested
in learning how to scan my colour negatives and slides. Obviously I
need a
computer (which I have ) and a scanner, which I don't have, so I am

I am interested in trying out Portra Film, and I was wondering if it was useful
for anything but portrait work. I do a lot of "all around" work(some portraits,
some travel, etc), nothing professional, and it would be nice to have a line of
film in different speeds with the same look ...
