Movie film is lower quality than photographic film and it is also non-archival. Your memories will fade very quickly if you don't keep your processed negatives in the freezer (which is what movie studios do). [Note: normal color neg film will say "Process C41" on the canister. If it says "Process ***something else****" then you've got movie film. This is why the junk that Seattle Filmworks respools cannot be processed at your local minilab.] There may be other opinions about this, but it seems they use movie stock. I would also be interested to hear further information. - -Al > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Grimwood [SMTP:bgrim@garply.com] > Sent: Thursday, March 04, 1999 11:54 AM > To: Leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: [Leica] Seattle Film Works > > Today I received two rolls of free? film from Seattle film works.
