Among the surviving materials is a box of slides from Dale Laboratories.
Dale used to advertise in the back of Popular Photography & Shutterbug
that you could send them your regular color negative film & they'd send
back prints, negatives *and slides*.
I've been trying to figure out what kind of film process Dale used to
produce the slides. I think what they did was expose the negatives onto
film that was made for motion picture prints (i.e. the film that went
through the projector in the theater).
What you're thinking of there is the venerable "5247" film stock.
A good way to cheaply get prints and slides from tail-end movie-stock film.
It doesn't look like Dale's does it that way - at least not anymore!
I ran a few rolls of this stuff through my cameras back in the late 70's, early
80's. Weird masking color on that film (almost a brown tone)...
I kinda like that shot - moody and contrasty.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out the film they used back in 1988. I'm sure
my original (lost) negatives were probably Kodak Gold 200 or the like.
The PDF file Bob provided a link to says it was "Kodak Vision Print
Film" in 2004.
I found a table of film stocks on Wikipedia that indicates that film was
introduced in 1998. But, the predecessor film introduced in 1983 appears
to have been Eastman Color Print 5384. So I think that's probably the
film Dale was using back in 1988.
