Hi Nathan, I certainly didn't think we were fighting(?). But quite the reverse is true here. More print film was shot than slides by my parents and they owned a kodak projector and shot slides as well. Slides of vacations on the lake. Lots of slides of local parades, etc. They did not own a movie camera, so no moving picture film. But some of the parents of neighbour friends of my youth have kept their movies as well. I mentioned to Adam in another post that I think the previous generation to my parents here don't have negs. but have their prints as most people didn't own a 35mm or other format camera prior to WWII. I am referring to snaps shooters. Regards, Greg
