RE: New to the list

One thing to note about slides is that when you store them in an archival
sheet, the film never touches the sheet since it sits isolated in the mount.
This is not the case when you store film in a sleeve. Any dirt on the film
will make it's way into the sleeve surface and ultimately could scratch the
film when removed from the sleeve.

I mount my own slides, which eliminates the lab from screwing up that step.

My latest print film from Custom Process in Berkeley had freakin' huge water
spots on two frames. Really PO'd me. The latest E6 from the New Lab was much
better, but I detected two small specs of some sort out of 5 rolls
developed. Generally I never see any artifact from the New Lab, but I
suspect with the bad economy the company isn't running as tight of a ship.
They already dropped Saturday processing.
