[QUOTE="RickSawThat, post: 42913, member: 8289"] It is too bad. We used to go to the Kodak offices in Hollywood and buy or reserve bricks of Kodachrome all with the same emulsion and batch number to ensure consistency between rolls. I sure don't miss those processing and developing costs though. We'd come back from a shoot with 60-100 rolls of film that all had to be processed. Ouch $ Things have changed a lot. I started as a photo assistant and part of my job was to do focus checks and refocus to ensure sharp images, also I sat next to the photographer and would hand bracket. As he shot I would have to move the aperture dial up and down 1 1/2 stops in 1/2 stop increments each frame as he would blast away with the motor drive. Another assistant would load the next body with film and take the exposed film and number the canister with a sharpie pen and log each roll into a notebook before we put it in the lead bag... Personally I am happy for all the new technology :) [/QUOTE]
