Somebody just had to ask... must be cloudy there now, eh? :)

BTW, film recorder services (going from digital file back to actual film)
from 35mm and 120 roll film size from 4K files are $20.00 each here, and
from 8K files, $45.00 each here.  From my experience, you need the bigger
file to be able to do anything with it other than just look at it) .  (Not
counting the original film, the processing and the digital scanning and
prep costs), that's $1620.00 to convert a 36 exposure roll of negs to duped
slides (you can get a discount though on quantity, if it's not custom work
- and who would want all 36 frames output though?).  I have tried cheaper
(consumer) mail order sources for these services, and have never received a
dupe back that was good enough that I would put my name on it.  

And remember, you know how we try to dial in the exact exposure down to the
sometimes tenth of an F stop when exposing our slides?  Forget this on film
recorder services unless you are paying for custom work and providing them
with a high quality print or slide... (where did that slide come from!) to
work towards.  I have some really bad typical results as examples here if
you want to see some.

I may try to shoot some slides today of trains if it clears up outside here
in St. Louis.
