Well I think thats very sad Evan, its a shame when money becomes god so to speak.
I always bemoan the rising prises in films as it seems to lead to a seller over expectation, which seems to lead to an errosion of goodwill somehow.
Money gets the better of people rather than wanting to do what is right and fair.
$125 plus post is an awful lot of money for a 3 x 400 film in any order, even with really good LF colour.
But a film looking like this should be value less, a give away, or very cheap goodwill enjoy it item.
Well Evan I am very sorry, and so are other people. Try to put it in the past, and make sure you see some screen shots on any films in this price bracket in future with a what screen size please too.
Film seems to have a crazy, compulsive, and driven element for a lot of us.
16mm really does seem to be slowing back to more sensible levels overall now, bar the odd daft feature, hopefully super 8 will too.
My best wishes and forward to better things, Mark.

I think a lot of my films are pure luck but also i am very fortunate to have a dedicated room for all my films and its constantly cool all year round and no windows, so permanently dark. No sunlight at all. In the summer evenings, (especially last year), when it gets very hot, it's the perfect place to cool down with a movie or two. I am only guessing that these conditions are pretty good for cine films. We still have our fair share of films showing signs of fading and we will continue to sell these on now and hopefully, make some cash for other titles that havnt faded .
As it happens, the one thing i do have to watch for in this particular room, is humidity, it.'s an odd one because on a crisp clear winters day and night the humidity is below average, as soon as it rains outside or is grey and dull it goes into the 60s on the metre.Even with central heating this only improves it until the dry weather yet the room is dry, carpeted and regularly cleaned throughout. All that said, after 20 years here i dont appear to have had too many problems with the equipment or stocks.
