Dale That's Seattle Film Works, no doubt. Horrible film. It's negative film. You can make slides from any neg film. And you CAN make prints from slide film, but at the consumer level, quality will be non-existent. SFW uses the ends of film shot in movie cameras. It is terribly inconsistent. Every movie crew always does clip tests before processing a roll so they know what adjustments to make in processing, so consistency isn't as important. So this 5247 film (or whatever numbers they're using now) is remainder film. Not what you want to be using with your Leica glass. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Pi R Squared? No Pi R round, Cornbread R Square!
