Heh.... I've been shooting RDP in 4x5 sheets, so I'm out about $8-9 PER
SHOT.  I've shot and processed about 50 sheets since July, 40 sheets in the
past month alone , I've got about another 50 or so left, and I'm planning
on buying more..... lots more.

I am not making money off of this...... in fact quite the opposite, but I'm
doing this NOW because I doubt there will be an abundance of E-6 processing
in a couple of years.

(I've also shot about 60 or so sheets of FP4 and Tri-X, which isn't as
harsh on the pocketbook)
