I hadn't shot a roll of slide film in quite a while, but just this
month decided to try out this Provia thingie you all seem to mention
so frequently. Good heavens, this is lovely stuff!
I deliberately left the OM-2N's autoexposure alone, as a test of
exposure latitude, and was pleasantly surprised. I would still break
out the spotmeter for critical work though.
I've been going through a lot of old family photos myself
recently--and I'm talking back 100 years here--and continue to be
amazed at the longevity of them, even when stored in utterly
indifferent non-archival conditions. Among the most amazing: my
father's Kodachromes from the 40s. The color remains astoundingly
fresh and lifelike. . .
Off to count the bricks in Walt's photo,
