I also purchase the "import" Kodak film from B&H because of the price. However, this past week has shaken my confidence in its quality and the quality of the Fuji they get. This frame was taken with 35mm Portra 160NC. The roll is covered with little "splatters" from about 26 through the end. It looks like it is in the emulsion to me. <http://www.sherb.org/bad/portrabad.jpg> Here's a frame from a roll of 120 Fuji Reala (it's imported because that's all you can get). The weird vertical "drip" shape is in the negative. It's the only frame on the roll that has that kind of problem. <http://www.sherb.org/bad/realabad.jpg> I've run about a dozen rolls of each and haven't seen any other problems, so this is hardly conclusive. I'll probably continue to get film from them. t On 12/13/02 6:57 PM, Dan Scott wrote: > > On Friday, December 13, 2002, at 07:40 PM, Steve Pearson wrote: > >> Hello all.
