What of? Where can we see them? This can help immeasurably in our helping you decide where to go next in your workflow. Its like I've been hammering and hammering and hammering and I need a new hammer? No mention of bird houses or upholstery or rafter framing or what!?! And we get posts like these twice a year so you're not the only one. And why have you not experimented with digital photography? -- Mark William Rabiner mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Michael Sacca <mfsacca at sover.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:10:16 -0400 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] More on "last roll of Kodachrome" > > Hi all, > > This is the first post to LUG having just joined recently. > > I have had a nearly continuous roll of Kodachrome (25 then 64p) in my > M4 since the mid 70's.
