P3D NimsTec

It's my turn:

Had a message on my machine the other afternoon from a Rod Gallagher at
NimsTec. He said my order was ready but that they couldn't mail it because
my credit card had expired. He left no phone number, but I called back on
the number that sombody posted here a while ago. (BTW, a search on a couple
of on-line yellow pages reveals no trace of the company.) As has been
reported, a machine answers and disingenously claims that "all of our
operators are busy" and tells you to leave a message.

I said that I couln't resist pointing out that they had had the film since a
couple of months before the expiration date of the card, but told them to
use the same card and gave them the new expiration date.

The pictures, shot with a Rittai, arrived today.

I believe they are better than anything I ever got from Nimslo or Nishika.
The screen seems finer and the backing is silky smooth. The Rittai lenses
seem pretty good for a snapshot camera. In fact, the only faults in these
pictures have to do with my talent as a photographer.

I am intrigued to have received a re-order form that offers custom
enlargements up to 27 x 36 (at $144.99, singly!). Unfortunately, none of the
current batch is a candidate.

BUT: NimsTec has had the film since about Thanksgiving.
