Re: Levels & Curves

[Arthur Entlich <artistic@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let's see, 1.5 million divided by 38 exposures (I'm giving you those two
extra you get on a roll) equals 39,473 rolls of film, at, let's say even
$4 each (with processing??) (not even thinking about prints), comes to
$157,894 minimal film/processing costs.  Also, even assuming you have
used the one camera body for 25 years, that's nearly 1600 rolls a year
for every year or about $6300 a year in film and processing. Are you
sure you don't wish to revamp that number, or did you perhaps convert
your camera into a motion picture device?  Maybe you do a lot of
multiple exposure frames?

I'd suggest that if those numbers are correct, you should write Olympus
about this and I am sure they would give you a free digital camera (at
least) just to use your story in their ads.
