This is a great thread! At least it will be once it is fully explored.
Here's the big question: How do you store your negs and chromes?

If amassed piles of archival sleeve pages full of B&W negs, and bazillions
of those little white plastic boxes full of slides. Slides are easy to
store, but what about the neg pages? Do share your experiences on this.

Like Oddmund, I lost EVERY negative I had ever made before the age of 25 to
damage from fire sprinklers. Now I wish I had those images. I surveyed
friends who I had given prints to and was able to reproduce some of my
better stuff, but those are too few, and just not the same. Never again will
I handle or store negs carelessly.
