It is 35 mm movie film stock cut up and cassette-loaded, and used to be sold and processed by Seattle Film Works, and longer ago RGB and an outfit in Texas. There was an option of negs & slides, plus prints if requested, and later really dreadful scans to disk which they insisted on cropping, thus destroying my 'full frame' intentions.>> Years ago when I lived in Los Angeles I used movie film short ends reloaded into 35mm cassettes and sold as above described by RGB, a company that processed film for the movie industry. It was the best (IMHO) negative film then available, and the slides were printed on the same color release film used for projection. It was my main color film for years. I now regret having used the stuff. The positive film, designed for projection, fades fast in storage. Within 7 years, they looked like 30 year old E3. Awful. Only the relatively few Kodachromes I took during a 13 year period are still good. Modern color neg is much better, and almost anything will outperform that kind of transparency. Run! Save yourself! Too late for me :-( Allen Zak
