RE: [APML] Introduction & Film Question

[Alan Voetsch <alanv12952@yahoo.com>]

Hey Dave,

You never know when and where the SHQ200 will turn up so keep your eyes
open. I find in in the local Bi-Mart (a Pacific NW chain) and usually
will buy some when they put it on sale. The normal price is $6-7 for a
5 pack but I can usually get it for under $5 for 5 rolls, not a bad
deal.

To be honest, I have not been all that impressed with the slide films
I've tried, so am planning to go back to negative film. I do plan to
try the Velvia 100 and even looked for it today when I was in Bi-Mart
but they don't have it.
