That being said I only have two rolls of K25 left - will be in Telluride next week for the first ever Telluride Photo Fest and will probably shoot these rolls there. If anyone on the list is also going to Telluride let me know. ernie nitka On 9/17/2010 11:23 AM, H&E Cummer wrote: > Hi Luggers, > > God - how I love Kodachrome.
