Having said that, I still found it very difficult to throw away mounted slides, even the ones I considered worthless . With unmounted slides life was much easier. The less you mounted the less work. That made you think twice before mounting. And I had no difficulty in getting rid of what had not been mounted. Amazingly I still have thousands of slides nicely filed away, but then some are 40 years old. Imagine how many I would have had if they had come mounted. No room for my b+w darkroom then ;-) Chris >On 26 Nov 00, at 23:20, Mark Rabiner wrote: > >> Why do those crazy Germans just want a strip of film back??!! :) >> Are they going to glass mount it themselves? >> cut the strips and put them in negative sleeve pages? > >I mount the ones I want and toss the bad ones.
