[Leica] Any Sensia shooting here on the LUG?

[Jim at hemenway.com (Jim Hemenway)]

I've left some Provia and Ektachrome transparencies taped to the glass 
in a north facing window for two years now.

4x5, 6x6cm and 35mm are all represented.

The Provia has turned green, the Ektachrome hasn't.

Your mileage may vary but I'm very happy that the only 11x14 film that 
I've been able to acquire happens to be Ektachrome.
