Well, I'm a little discouraged tonight.  I have been using Kodak pre-paid
mailers for slide processing for years with a perfect record of reliability.
It looks like my luck may have run out.
In early October I mailed in one film, and according to Kodak's Web site,

Does anybody know a good place with fast service in San Francisco, where
you can get slide films  prosessed (E-6) and scanned to files (on CD) with
high resolution and good quality?
Is there such service? Does anybody know how much this kind of services

I have been doing some reading about film on the internet and have a
question about what kind of film does one get if they want the most
accurate reproduction what we see through the SLR.
I currently use Fujicolor Superia 100, and have been told to look into

This weekend I shot a roll of Kodachrome 64. No other slide film was
available at the store I was at, expect for Ektachrome 400. No way I'm
shooting that speed of film, especially outdoors in bright sunlight.
Anyway now I have a roll of Kodachrome 64 to get developed. I live in

I have searched the web and come up with all kinds of data/specs on the
product  but no info specificically on whether 100T is a LOW contrast film

Can we put developed and undeveloped films into a freezers?
Thx for infos.

I finally shot some, and posted a few examples. Take a look if interested:

what are the real chances of film being overtaken by digital technology?
Will B&W film always be available?
I hope it keeps going in all sizes but don't know what the manufacturers are
doing. I hear that some companies such as Kodak and Richo will no longer

I just found this newsgroup - never been here before. I thought someone
here might be interested in seeing my comparison between 5 megapixels,
Velvia, Kodachrome (and also Portra 160NC and Kodak Gold 200). I also took
some pictures through a microscope:

What lab makes wallet size prints with rounded corners from a digital
image... I'm selling a senior package btw.

I'm wondering if there is an accepted time limit for keeping a
customer's original film before a company can ask for it to be either
picked up or it will be tossed out?
In our case, there was no specified limit on the order form so are we

I feel Kodak E200 slightly less saturated.
If I push Kodak E200 by one stop, does it improove the saturation.
Thanks

are Kodak 160VC and 400VC a good choice?
