Hi all, I think, someone of you has faced this problem before. with 35mm film, you can take film out of plastic can, shoot it, and place it safely back in can. this way it is safe from water, extreeme cold and other problems. With 120 film you break the sealed plastic bag, shoot it, and...?

Gaha, I've found Zip-Lock or Slider-Seal sandwich size plastic bags have a fairly positive seal. I use them for both exposed and unexposed MF and 35mm. As you doubtless already know, if transferred from cool to hot storage, tightly sealed plastic bags tend to allow internal condensation.

the word backup usually implies some kind of reliability. hard drives are not. it would be *ok* if you kept a *second copy* of each file there. but that's in effect RAID 1 where you do what RAID controller does: making sure you have two copies of everything. at this point, i am keeping two
