Pick up some temporary or removable slide mounts for temporary use when
necessary - there were threads here concerning Gepe and also Quickpoint
mounts, and if you like I can copy what I saved from them in .txt and
forward them.

Subject: Ramblings about musings about decisions (OT)
| Such a minor thing really, and there is an easy answer, but I find
| myself waffling. I've got two rolls of uncut slide film (one because
| I had double-exposures on it using the old "hold in the rewind button
| and cock the shutter" method, which resulted in less than consistent
| film advance, and the other because it was in the same order as the
| first one). The lab I use that does internegs says they need a mounted
| slide (I presume I could ask them to mount a slide for me as needed,
| but I do have convenient plastic mounts handy at home). The lab I use
| that does Cibachromes says they don't care. I forgot to ask whether
| sending out to Kodak for lower cost type-R printing requires mounting
| or not.
|
| If I cut these slides apart and mount them, I can do whatever I
| want with them. But I kind of like the freedom to put them in
| 7x6 or 6x6 loose leaf pages like I do my negatives -- I like thsose
| archive pages better than the ones for slides, and I can get an
| entire roll in one page that way. Of course, I could mount the few
| I want to print and leave the rest in archive pages, but then I'd
| have a roll split up funny. Or I could mount the ones that are
| at least halfway decent and file the rest in the trash bin, but
| I'm not really good about throwing stuff out like that.
|
| I'm not really asking for help making up my mind -- I'll wind up
| choosing one way or another to handle this. But I do confess that
| I'd find other folks' thoughts entertaining and perhaps even
| intriguing and informative, just to see how other peoples' minds
| work.
|
| (On the interneg vs. Cibachrome thing: the lab that does internegs
| does a good job with them. I'd been put off of internegs because
| of how a bulk lab handled them, but the ones this lab has done for
| me have worked very well. It seems there's a lot of human judgement
| at each step of the process. And, of course, getting _additional_
| prints made later is cheaper once I've got the interneg. OTOH, for
| some images, I want that extra *oomph* of a Cibachrome. These are
| mostly images of mulicoloured roses, one roll on Velvia and the other
| on Provia F. For the Cibachromes / Type-R prints, if there's anything
| tricky in the printing, I have it done at the other lab, by hand. If
| it's straightforward, I have them send it out to Kodak. I was nervous
| about "sending to Kodak" because of my horrid experiences with
| Qualex orders sent from a department store, but the folks at this
| lab tell me that even though it's the same Qualex lab, the stuff
| sent in on the "pro side" is handled separately, and in fact I've
| had no problems with orders sent in from this lab.))

| PS: obPentax -- One roll was shot in my Super Program, the other
| in my KX.
|
| PPS: Does anyone still do the "obFOO" thing in newsgroups and mailing
| lists any more?
