Re: [photo-3d] Film Reminder

[Linda Nygren <lnygren@xxxxxxx>]

Although Peter Davis' suggestions are interesting, I found it simpler to
purchase a few "Film ID Holders" which are the black plastic frames that
stick on to the camera (or case) and hold the end flap from your film
box as a reminder. This is similar to the built-in ones on many camera
bodies except that they are a little thicker since they are plastic
rather than metal and the adhesive foam adds a little thickness also. I
bought one at a local camera store for $10, and a couple more later on
(Kalt brand) for $7.50 each with a film order from B & H so little or no
additional shipping. I believe Porters charges $8-9 for these, depending
on quantity.

Until recently I almost always shot 100 asa film, but I still had
trouble remembering which camera had the print film and which the slide
film if shooting both, which I often do. Lately I have been using some
Fuji NPS 160 print film, so I am glad that I got the film ID holders.
