I had you in mind when thinking about who might have one of these or an even bigger better one. I've been using scissors and fingernails so far - working at a pace that could only be described as 'part time artisan like', which has translated into falling way behind. And so the kids don't get to see the slides that have been shot - a pity. One little problem I've thought of while waiting for delivery - how does one clean the underside of the top mount before pressing them together? hmmm. I might get into the habit of lifting it up to vacuum away any dust before pressing. I saw that some Gepe mounts come in 10,000 packs. I'm working up the gumption to order 1000. Still, I did the maths last night and film, processing and costly little Gepe mounts will come to about a fifth of an M8 per annum. Some would say that my shutter button must be stuck! I will report back on how this gadget works out, though I imagine there is an ever dwindling level of interest these days. It's a great time to be buying film photography gear. Regards, Rick.
