Did someone switch the keys on your keyboard?

My arthritic fingers have a habit of hitting keys I don't want them to hit. Also, my cat likes to walk across the keyboard when I'm trying to type.

@Stone: I'm glad someone bought some of that 46mm film. I have spent so much loot on other stuff that I just didn't have the cash for a bulk roll of film. I also have a Yashica 44. It's a neat little camera. I still have a few rolls of Efke 127 film. It's pretty crappy, but it works. I also have three Nikor reels for 127.

Nice, well hopefully next year they will have more.

My biggest complaint is just that I don't have a 127 insert for my scanner (Epson v750) so I have to keep it between two panes of glass to keep it flat and it's a bit of a pain to avoid dust and fingerprints. When I get this all sorted out I might consider investing in the betterscanning custom holders but for only 22 rolls a year, I should probably just suck it up and do it like I've been doing.

I just wish everything in photography were simpler haha, like, they couldn't have made an easy "feeder" system for scanners to feed entire rolls while you walked away that could keep things even and dust free? I mean, printers can adjust to different size papers and thicknesses with little to no issues, why couldn't they make a film scanner with adjustable rollers and make our lives easier, and mass produced them at a smaller price than $10,000 and I think more people would have stuck with film because their local walgreens prints wouldn't be so shitty.

Ok digression rant over...

All the plastic reels adjust to 127 still and probably always will, there's no need to change the template anymore it would cost them too much to re-tool the machines to NOT include that size. So I'm good with the processing part.
