Marco,
Before everyone jumps in and the threading of the archive goes
haywire - I have started a new thread by opening a new Email message
in my EMail client and coming up with a sensible subject. Replying to
a previously posted message and simply changing the subject
description also muntifies the threading in the archive.
Now as to the film holder problem, you have the right idea - but you
will have to find paper thin enough to fit in the holders and cut it
to size.
Otherwise find some out of date B&W film, load the holders and stick
'em in the light, turning to do both sides and add seasoning to taste
- a lot easier!
Cheers,
Clive
