One item that has affected my local lab is that apparently the "PAKO" style plastic mounts that their mounting machine was set up to use have disappeared. they sent my slides back in sleeves and I had to mount them myself. Fortunately cardboard mounts are still available. I would be afraid that many labs might junk their mounting machine if they run out of mounts, and so just getting a supplier to make similar mounts may not be sufficient to get the mounting service back....
Amazon.ca - I'll send you a "Conversation".Hi Matte, may I ask where acquired your light panel from?
Such light box can serve several purposes. One should not deduce from the appearance of such new model at a greater interest in slide photography.
What is interesting in this is that there is people which is working at making a new product that can basically be used only for slide film. Gives me optimism.
Seller from Greece claimed it was cold stored, Date stamped on the boxes is 06/2010. Im unsure if this is date of manufacture or expiry, it does not say. Probably one of the last coatings made by Big Boy...Hey nice! When did it expire?

I got my first roll of Ferrania Solaris I have ever shot developed today!
Here are the results, all on the same roll.
I find I have more trouble exposing C41 films than E6, yet its supposed to be more tolerant than E6 to incorrect exposure?
I dont mind the washed out look, kinda looks retro but to my eyes those shots appear overexposed, as some have vibrant colour, IDK, was shot on an XA3 and my E6 usually turns out perfect on this camera.
Did you have the pictures printed? Did you make the scans yourself?
Some images have a magenta cast (e.g. 21, 40), one appears to have a yellowish cast (39), some appear to be well colour balanced. I think this is the result more of filtration than of film age. I would expect an expired film to show the same colour shift across the entire roll.
Also, appearance on different monitors can vary depending on the monitor "calibration", or lack thereof.

For fun?After looking at the scans, I'm scratching my head why anyone would want to shoot Ferrania Solaris.
I dont see any issues with the results posted, and there are many other good examples on flickr if you lookAfter looking at the scans, I'm scratching my head why anyone would want to shoot Ferrania Solaris.

It's not Ferrania Solaris, it's any colour picture.
You are seeing the result of a scanning process and of your monitor colour shift.
In order to judge the ability of a film to render accurately colours, you have first to "calibrate" your monitor, then you have to correctly color balance the scan (which is not something that can necessarily be done automatically, just like filtration when colour printing) and finally when you show somebody else the pictures, somebody else must have a "calibrated" monitor as well.
Otherwise, the result it's all chance.
This picture had a yellow dominant on my monitor. Corrected, it is balanced on my monitor, but it might appear as having a blue dominant on the monitor it was scanned with (actually this still has a cyan shift on my monitor I did not try to balance it exactly, I just wanted to make my point clearer).
yep, those colours are certainly nice!
Another question i have is regarding the orange mask, this seems to vary greatly between films, the ferrania seems lighter than the fuji and Kodak, and my fuji seems to be the darkest.
Yes, but what is the question?
The orange mask is to correct for dye errors (deviations from the ideal color). Each manufacturer will use what will correct the errors.
At least this is what I understood from master P.E.
