WOW, that's very generous - thanks for your offer
James.
Are you also a Vancouverite? I'll get back to you on
your offer, and I do appreciate it.
Also, thanks to the others for their comments on
Provia storage. I guess I took the storage warnings
too literally ;-) I've never shot Provia, and now
have a 100 sitting in my fridge awaiting a trial test.
Exposure of slide film has always made me nervous,
but I reckon I'll just have to start playing with it.
