[LargeFormat] A new departure

[Achal Pashine]

Uncle Dick,
OHH NO.. I already bid on those hangers! now I will have to retract that bid
and use your modified method! :)
I bought some film from local store (Keeble and Shuchat, in Palo Alto) and
have finished that supply. Now I am considering buying it from B&H
(www.bhphotovideo.com) in NY (I live in CA) do you people think it will have
the problem with X-ray scanning as described in other post by Clive?
thanks,
achal
