I've really got to get out and do some film stuff. On my recent trip I packed an ME-F that I bought a couple of years ago and have never used, thinking that I'd have plently of opportunities to try it out with some Ektachrome. It came home unused and I've been kicking myself ever since. Maybe this weekend....
