I filled out the questions, telling them I shoot 35mm and medium format. I goofed up though and where it asked to categorize my photography I intended to click on 'fine art' (hey - we all have our ambitions) but accidentally clicked on 'government / military'. They were right next to each other on the alphabetical listing (F-G). I sorta hoped to get some Tri-X or Plus-X, but then I already have several rolls of both in the freezer. Instead today a tube arrived with two 35mm rolls of Porta 400 (one VC, once NC) and two 120 rolls of Porta 160 (again - VC/NC) Cool! I have no fast color 35mm film left and the ISO 160 Porta is exactly what I'd use for landscapes. Plus there's a substantial coupon ($25) for orders of $125 or more. My color 120 film supply is dwindling (I'm down to just 5 220 rolls of NPS and 3 rolls of Konica Impressa 50) so I may just bite on this. Yeah yeah yeah - I got the K10D, but a well exposed 6x7 negative still rocks for some applications. I checked and the promo ended - otherwise I'd post the link to it. - MCC -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net Need a quick answer?

On the other hand, as the Royal Mail still forwards my mail to the Netherlands, I will request it. Thanks Cotty!

RE: Free film/Cheap film
No, I am not seeing those colours in the neutral. I am not talking colour cast here, just that these colours tend to have slightly greater punch. It is well known that Kodak is warmer than fuji in general isnt it? I use EBX interchangeably with Velvia, when I want 100 ASA I use EBX, otherwise Velvia. EBX has the same saturation, and very good grain for a 100 speed film. EBX leans slightly more on the magenta side, whereas Vevia leans to the greens in comparison. If you are seeing those colours in the neutrals, the Velvia is being underprocessed and the EBX is being overprocessed. They're both really picky. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

RE: Free film/Cheap film
You must have got a duff batch then. There is very little difference between this and E100VS normally. The difference is so marginal that EBX (extra colour) is actually a much better buy. Besides, this version dont need to be kept in a fridge. I use EBX interchangeably with Velvia, when I want 100 ASA I use EBX, otherwise Velvia. EBX has the same saturation, and very good grain for a 100 speed film. EBX leans slightly more on the magenta side, whereas Vevia leans to the greens in comparison. -Original Message- From: Patrick White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 April 2002 17:18 To: pentaxdiscuss Subject: Re: Free film/Cheap film Rob Brigham writes: Everybody in the UK buy Amateur Photographer this week. You get a free roll of 36 exp Kodak EliteChrome Extra Colour. I am going to buy 10 copies this week! If this is the same consumer-variety extra color Elitechrome that Kodak sells over here in the US, you might want to develop the first roll before investing in 10 magazines :-) I tried some last summer and found it had a very grainy, almost old autochrome look, whereas the professional variety of this film has practically no grain in comparison. hope that helps, patbob ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
