Used MF Prices --- I Should be Happy but not

Just a funny side note on this. I showed some friends a few 6x9 transparencies,
and a couple actually asked how I did the transparent "prints". When I
explained it was actually film, like a slide (just much bigger), they were a
little amazed that something like that existed.

I had some advertising phots shot a few years ago. Was 645 on E100S. About a
year later we get a new marketing assistant. She comes to me with the film and
asked what it was. She believed I was deceiving her until I asked if anyone had
ever shown slides projected. Blank stare, then "oh".

It's one of the most reliable indicators I've ever used.


Get a better indicator. Regardless of your background, intelligence, education
and interests I'm sure that you are ignorant about a great many things. The day
that someone versed in those things calls you ignorant, then smile hapilly; if
he calls you dumb or stupid, smile even more brightly for he's tipped his hand.

There are things that everyone is ignorant about. Knowing that film comes in
"positive" is not something that many people are in tune with, or care about.
Or really should unless they are photographers or working in a related industry.

Cheers,
Alan
