Perhaps I'll forego an M8 and stay with film, my M4 and M6 and Leicaflex SL's, scanning onto DVD's for ease of transmittal. Kodachromes of flight operations and refuelling at sea aboard U.S.S. Intrepid taken with my Leica IIIf, 50/2 Summitar and E.Leitz NY Wollensak 127/4,5 Raptar in 1957 during my almost 2 years as legal officer and OOD/under way on board U.S.S. Intrepid are today as vivid today as they were over half-a-century ago. LHSA members on this list who attended the 2005 annual meeting will remember seeing some of them projected from a DVD. And of course, silver-based b+w films will last as long as the film base = indefinitely, since we've not remotely reached a test period. Tri-X 8x11mm negatives I took with a Minox B when I lived in Paris in 1960 aren't remotely en jeu.
