memories....I knew it was going to be a quiet, peaceful day when faced with 50 rolls of Plus x to process....by hand.
Compare that to the anxiety of waiting for Kodachrome to come back from the lab.

Haha...remember bracketing your exposures so you could improve your chances of getting the right one? Or, deciding which film's saturation and/or color bias was best for the subject? Wow, that was like the Stone Age compared to now. And yet, it was probably more fun then...

I remember taking a few trips around the f stop. And experimenting with cross processing.
I clearly remember looking at my first roll of Velvia. Never shot another roll of 64 ever. I was a simple guy,Velvia @50 then switched to Provia @ 100, normal processing. Those were the days!

At first, reading fast, I thought you simply misspelled Velveeta Cheese.

Same here, after Velvia, never touched 64 again. I had a bunch of pros who switched, too. Fuji really kicked Kodak's butt.
