I really like the Velvia in large format, but

thought I'd ask what others have heard regarding

the long-term stability of E-6 reversal films such

as Velvia (dark storage in dry room-temperature

environment), after processing. I am hoping for

at least 20 or 30 years or more before color shifts

occur, but I realize that Kodachrome is still the

standard.

Thanks,

Quang-Tuan, thank you for the information. I am considering cutting

larger negatives to the 5 x 7 size also. Do you use a paper trimmer

such as the Rototrim or Dahle? Is cleaning off cutting debris (film

chips) an issue? I'm hoping that normal dust-off procedures as is

typical with film holder loading will be sufficient.

<p>

Thanks again,

Oliver

Does anyone know about availability of 5 x 7 color

transparency sheet film (preferably Fuji)

outside the U.S.A., and/or a source for importing

it into the U.S.? I've been told that neither Fuji

nor Kodak offer 5 x 7 color sheet film in the U.S.

market.

Thanks,

Oliver
