Just an idea: Could the film manufacturers not put a magnetic 'sticker' on the outside of 35mm film canisters. The camera could auto record read film info like last used fram ISO override etc and use it for mid roll change etc. If a film was loaded without the magnetic 'sticker' then obviously

800-speed APS film is quite new, isn't it? Like two months old? Perhaps it requires its own processing channel and all labs will have to learn with experience. In my view, the arrival of 800-speed APS film breathes new life into the format, especially for available-light fans. But only if you

But you can't get here in N. America as far as I know. I read somewhere that the U.S. photographers prefer prints than slides. Thus Fuji and Kodak have avoided sending the E-6 film here, Jim A. From: "Paul Jones" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2001 13:54:16

Still too complicated. APS cameras with MRC is so much easier than any approach formulated by the makers of upper end SLR cameras. Anyway you look at it, you will lose one frame. Change of topic. The current Shutterbug magazine mentions hybrid cameras that use film and also storing digital

Hi Ken. When I started on this list back in '96 when APS was staring out, I took a lot of flack from die hard 35mm fans who seemed threatened by the new format. My only complaint with APS is that you can't buy slide film here in the U.S. I recall when 110 came out in the early 70's, slide film

Ken, I own the Nikon Pronea and the Canon ELPH 370z. Both have the MRC feature and moderate to extensive PQI. Back in '96, an article appeared in Pop Photography that speculated it would be possible to have an APS 35mm system. I understand that there might be a hybrid system featuring APS and
