Also, some films were notoriously bad for dye instability.
So, here are my rules for not being forced into scanning your film to

Hi Eric,
This is a dilemma you and others will be facing each time there is a
technological improvement in image acquisition and storage.
Is it worth rebuilding your basement when you put an addition on your
