A question for my fellow filmosaurs --
Where do you get supplies such as 35mm slide mounts, captions, and
protective sleeves? I used to use Royce Bair, but he seems to have
gotten out of the film supplies business (and who can blame him?). I
then switched to B&H, but got an inferior bunch of sleeves from them
recently. (A real shock, that -- I've been using them for 30 years for
nearly all film & camera purchases, with zero problems until this
one.)Where do you get supplies such as 35mm slide mounts, captions, and

I;m really sorry to hear that about Royce - as you say, he was a top
notch supplier with good goods at fair prices. My supply of sleeves is
running low. I do have a part box of 2x2 undividual sleeves that I no
longer use, now that I no longer send slides to submissions. I still
like 'em for the mf materials.
I'm still saving 35mm slides to Print File pages, as I edit & scann the
collection and trash the old pvc pages. Print Files are still
available at my local shop - but I better stock up on them as well,
given that I'm expecting a big load of trannies from an agency that's
going out of business. I'll call the shop Tuesday.
Happy New Year all!
