Does anyone know of a currently marketed brand of plastic ones that are shed free? I guess I'll start cassette hygiene too.

I have an issue. I reload my own film and use the re-usable cassettes from Adorama or B&H. I generally use KALT or I think Adorama brand and I just realized that my cassettes are shedding fuzz from the light trap strip. Is there some brand that you know of that won't do this?

Ill do that.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. My sympathies. I is a shame that we live so far but I'm glad that plane flights aren't as expensive as they used to be.... I can't wait to see what's on the rest of the rolls.

Thank you. I honestly didn't realize how difficult it was until I spent a week in training. My sister does it 24/7 and I really feel for her. It's so difficult, she's given up her life for it. I'm sure my mom won't make it past this year so that's good only in that she's not going to continue to...

Thanks!

Thanks so much Matt...I appreciate it. I hope that there are many more on the roll that's still in my FE2.

Thanks!

By a wide margin for sure. On a busy day where I live "traffic" is defined as " there are more than 5 cars that I can see while driving down the street" Nobody charges me for plastic bags at the supermarket. I can wear a side arm to the store. I can afford an actual house and not a cardboard box...

Thanks. That's the ONLY good thing about California...the year round great weather. (and the food) but a lot of the rest of it sucks. I wouldn't live there.

I took a Christmas trip to San Diego this month because my mom has dementia and is getting progressively worse, I wasn't sure that she'd make it to her birthday in May (my normal visit time) I'm not sure she knew precisely who I was but she was able to laugh and enjoy the moment and that was...

Your prints look great..Id be happy with those for sure.

So there you have it; manual vs automatic. For me, that's the beauty of the trip; that I don't think about focusing, fiddling or setting anything, I just compose the shot...live in the moment. If you like that...you'll love the trip. If you want control over every detail..you won't like it. I...

Before I tried to hang film in a cabinet without positive air pressure I'd make a film dryer like the previous poster said. I've made them out of 1.5' length of PVC 4" diameter with a 4" duct fan taped to one end with a dust filter taped to the end so that the air being sucked in is filtered...

Great! Now to go stalk some subjects....
