Gabe I am at http://www.fujifilm.com and so far I have not found the
Velvia. But I have found
FUJICHROME SENSIA II 100 200 and 400
The heart of the Sensia II family of films is the
Fujichrome Sensia II 100. This ISO 100-rated
daylight-balanced slide film utilizes a variety of new <snip>
I will keep looking. Certainly more fruitful than the Kodak site where I
did not find any slide film advertised at all. But I might of missed it
and will look again.
As I remember it wasn't too long ago that I was using Kodachrome and
before that it was Ektachrome slide films. In fact I think some of the
intrepid explorers 40 years ago brought Ektachrome color developing kits
down to the ice so they could develop their own photographs. I may have

There are female Leica freaks aren't there? Don't know if I have
noticed any yet but I have only been subscribing to the LUG for a couple
weeks. In fact I am not aware of any female professional
photographers. Why would that be?
Someone give me the URL of a female professional photographer if you
know of any. Just curious about how the old world works as we rapidly
approach year 2000. This retired engineer has a lot of catching up to
do. Dale
