There's a reason to sharpen your eye …! :-) ... Ouch! to the film cost & unwelcome extra expense. Costs permitting, keep them coming. There is really something about these images.Another memento with Impossible I-1 and the cyanographic film: Thanks! It's about twice the cost of shooting 6x6 film and having it processed, which isn't too too bad, but still an expense to be managed. After a flurry of snapping about to learn the film and the camera, I tend to slow way down and then I usually get most out of a pack as keepers. It's the education cost that's steep. Can't be helped if you love the way instant film looks, which I do, so I meter it out and enjoy it. I just feel lucky that someone—the folks who founded The Impossible Project—cared enough to keep the format and the cameras alive. Photography is richer for their hard work and investment. I hope the business thrives and they are rewarded financially as well. The tires? Ach, I was expecting to do them this year anyway, just taken a little by surprise by the rapidity of their decline. They were fine four months ago. Oh well, they'll be fine again on Friday. I chose a slightly different tire this time, one with a bit more tread life potential. I hope they work well. onwards, G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
