2012-07-06 Thread Kevin Timmins
Just after some single perf 16mm leader in the UK to supplement the 16mm processing service I just got up and running for E100D and Tri-X. I suspect I wont need too much of it. I've checked on a few familiar websites but cannot seem to find any. All the best and thanks in advance for the

What I don't get is why people are quibbling about the prices, when the issue here is that the basic premise of the OP -- that falling value of 16mm production gear from 1980-2005 provides a serviceable plot point for the narrative of a novel -- is weak and questionable regardless. If the
