Re: [APML] Expired Film Replacement

Yep, I do plan to spend at least one night shooting with the Mamiya at TSP.
I purchased some Fuji Provia 400F 120 format (from thefilmclub.com in Allen)
in anticipation of getting some decent medium format shots. Unfortunately,
my longest lens for the Mamiya is 150mm, so I won't be comet shooting with
it. My medium format shots from Okie Tex all came out just slightly out of
focus. I plan to try focusing at the film plane this time...hence the
limitation to just one night of shooting.

I'll probably setup near Fred, so I'll have him drift aligned in an hour.
