My film came!

My wife said I got a package from Kodak, it must be the super 8.

I think some people prefer cardboard boxes because they let more air circulate around the film to help prevent VS.

I have a few storage books that are made of thin plastic. They look like books but when you open it they have holes that the 50' reels press into, they are quite cheap construction. Otherwise you can just stack them in a cardboard box. Most of the time I consolidate film onto larger reels leaving a ...

This is the latest on Ektachrome. It looks like 2018 now but it sounds like they are making progress.
