[Darkroom] who wants to do some E-6?

[Kelly]

looks like $6/roll for 36-shot 35mm Velvia 100F is as good as it gets.

And e100vs runs closer to $10/roll on ebay. :( That's what I REALLY want.

But it's better ($7.50) on adorama, but that's by the single roll so I
feel like we ought to be able to do better than that...

Maybe it would be easier to just shoot the film we have? I have a good
amount of 120 slide film, but I've shot up all of my 35mm, so I'm
looking to buy more e100vs.

I seem to have decided that we're going to do this. Now I just need to
rope someone into helping me, and find some people to shoot a bunch of
slide film. Who wants to commit to shooting some slide film in the
next couple weeks? (Joachim you are not getting out of this.)
