Afraid I missed yours. I didn't get there until about when that 70s kung
fu one started up. When we were planning the film we considered trying
to get one of the Russian spiral tanks but the shipping ETA would have been too close to the contest weekend. For home processing that spiral
tank is definatly the way to go. Regardless of the length of time the G3
needs. The simple process of winding those little handles left my fingers
raw! :-({|=

OK, maybe slightly OT, but the same goes for all of those wonderful digital still cams everybody seems to love.
They're great if you back everything up regularly, but I don't know anyone who does.
And what happens in 50 years?
I was at an estate sale a few months ago, and I bought literally THOUSANDS of Kodachrome slides. Yeah, maybe I'm creepy for looking at other families' histories, but I'll tell you what, Kodachrome from the mid-50s looks friggin GREAT today. Can't even say that for print film, and I'm definitely skeptical about those lovely 4MP pictures my buddies all brag about...
