The Provia F cost more because I bought a single roll and
because of our tax system. Yes, B&H would be cheaper in bulk,
assuming I trusted the film to survive a 23 hour flight, airport
delays and X-rays.

Ken puts on his Velvia.

A mile-high one for some landscapes. I doubt Thomas Abercrombie could
