Until you need to get it processed.
Until you need to get it processed.Ex post facto laws…
If you had it before it was illegal you’re fine
Until you need to get it processed.
Which films are processed the most by him? That would be interesting to know.Just talked with my lab, the owner said he’ll still take it, but honestly Velvia 100 is less than 5% of what he sees.
even said this whole situation is ridiculous
I think Fuji USA (whoever processes film returned in PP mailers) may be stopping. I doubt that the USEPA will be running around checking labsIt’s internet drama. People automatically assume the worst to affirm their own beliefs
The question is whether the lab wants to take on the legal exposure of handling a banned product? Beside clients, they have to deal with their own staff who may not want to handle it or could sue their employer.I think Fuji USA (whoever processes film returned in PP mailers) may be stopping.

I've got enough Fuji E6 chemistry in my utility room to float a battleship (Iowa Class). EPA is going to have to get through my extensive security (mine fields) to get my Velvia 100 away from me!! Besides it's a moot point. The bad stuff already exists. It's here in my refrigerator. I can use my Velvia 100, or through it in the trash. Either way it's still in the environment.The question is whether the lab wants to take on the legal exposure of handling a banned product?

I think it was the 3rd edition of The Darkroom Cookbook before the mercury, chromium and uranium stuff was deleted.I’ve been thinking… wouldn’t other stocks which also could have banned chemicals still be illegal to process? Yet labs would seemingly take them without issue
The problem is the lab opens itself up to lawsuits by the government and even their employees, especially a hostile one, who could sue because they're being forced to work in an unsafe environment. Trying to prove to a jury that there's only a little poison on the film and there's nothing to worry about, will keep the lab's owners up at night with worry. No company wants that aggravation and expense.What they write on the internet and what they are doing and what the really do if you are in the shop, as a consumer they know for long time, might slightly differThe amount of the forbidden chemical is so low, no one will ever measure it. Especially if they mix it with C41 and/or BW chemicals.
