This is a good example of just how cheap good neg film is.  But what
about those of us who shoot slide film in our stereo cameras?  What good
reason is there for slide film to be so expensive compared to neg film?
I did find a good deal on 100-foot rolls of Fuji E6 at Adorama, $45 or
so, which works out to be around $2 per roll, but you have to use a lot,
it may go bad, you have to spool it down yourself, what a pain.... etc.
Anyone have a better source for less-expensive E6 film?
