Thanks Bill, I thought APS film base was thinner to prevent curling up, and in fact it contributed to the flatness on the film plane. But I remember you were an APS film expert :-). If I could continue to get ISO 100 APS film, like Fuji Nexia F100 (not so much on 800 but it helps for sports shooting), I would still use my APS SLRs once in a while. Perhaps I may drop in my local lab to see what sort of equipment they have for me to use in the experiment. I will disassemble one of the cull APS cartridges tonight and start closely examining it. I will be very happy if I can reload Reala 100 or other 100 films. Thanks, Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
