So sad. I'll never forgive them. Still I'm now extremely impressed with the wonderful Velvia 100F. I just dropped 12 rolls shot this week in for processing. I think I shall be huddled over the lightbox for some time to come. Then the scanning begins. I'm trying very hard not to add up the purchase and processing costs, though. Then the lab (who is also a Leica a la carte dealer) happened to have M8 brochures available. Get thee behind me, Satan. Did you ever get to a Commonwealth Games when they were held in Australia? It's funny but within these Commonwealth countries' contests we have a great like for the Canadians, but of course it is always the greatest of pleasures to see England soundly trounced in any sport. In fact that glee would be only exceeded by that from the defeat of athletes from that big southern province just below Canada ;-) Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ted Grant Sent: Thursday, 19 October 2006 11:17 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Re:Newest Kodak emulsions - Free Film G Hopkinson said: Subject: RE: [Leica] Re:Newest Kodak emulsions - Free Film > Thanks Chris, for the information.

All E-6 type films were processed in Auckland on about 2 hour basis. ted
