I've got 5 rolls of 100 ASA Provia slide film. Are any of you still shooting film?
Good Dives, Charlie

So, do you want 5 rolls of Fujichrome? You bet! I'd love to shoot up those rolls. Do you need me to PM my address? John

Charlie,
Thank you!!! I received a package in the mail yesterday, and in it was the film and some Nikonos goodies (what looks like a Nikonos viewfinder for a wide-angle lens, and two Macro extension tubes, with wire framers. That’s a great addition to my Nikonos inventory.
I wanted you to know that I got the package, and will be using the film. The film is now in the freezer.
John

Yep, I hope that film survived the years of storage.
I'm trying to clear out photo and video gear I no longer use. Up next is a couple of Light and Motion housings for Sony video cameras. It's painful to think of how much those things cost me, when I get so much better video from a GoPro now.
Good Dives, Charlie

In my barn lies $$$$$ of beautiful but mostly useless underwater photo, movie and video equipment... yet I can't bear to toss it when I think of all the good trips it took with us.

Charlie, I took one of the rolls of Fujichrome Provia out of the freezer, let it thaw, and put it into my Nikonos II camera. Chris and I went out on a canoe trip, and I always treat my canoe trips as if we could overturn, so I always use an underwater camera for those trips instead of my expensive Canon digital cameras. I've picked up too many cell phones and players out of the Clackamas River on my dives to be comfortable with my expensive digital camers in my canoe (although we've never overturned yet). Last year I did get out of the canoe in deeper water, and with my legs in front of me fell backwards into the water. Luckily, I had my Nikonos camera that time too. Anyway, I've finally gotten my film back, and although there was a bit of color-correcting I needed to do after the scans, got some decent photos off your film. Here are some of the results. ScanImage156224-2 by John Ratliff, on Flickr Chris, my wife, is in the bow, and the reflections were wonderful. ScanImage156221-2 by John Ratliff, on Flickr Here is a dock, and again I am looking at the reflections. ScanImage156210 by John Ratliff, on Flickr I looked up and got this photo of the Douglas fir trees on the bank of the Tualatin River. ScanImage156200 by John Ratliff, on Flickr This is perhaps the best reflection photo of the bunch. Again, thank you for the film. I was using my Nikonos II with the Sekonic Auto-Lumi light meter in the case, 1/60th second at either F-8 or F-11 (for most of the exposures). Note that the Nikonos II 35mm F-2.5 lens has that neat system that shows the depth of field of the lens, and lets you set the depth of field. In this case, everything between 3 feet and infinity will be in focus with these settings. This feature allowed me to get that first photo of my Chris in the bow of the canoe in focus, along with everythig out in front of her. Most digital cameras don't give the photographer this information. IMG_1347 by John Ratliff, on Flickr John
