    Will knows I do the same, but they are already running out of the Velvias at many stores. Just bought a bunch to put in the freezer, but self loading wil have to become part of the hobby!

    Michael, sorry for interjecting this in the wrong thread, but I see that you use a 75mm with a Master Technika. Having just started with a Master Technika and 90/210 f/5.6 Schneiders, I am already wondering about adding a 75mm, but the constraints on movements would frustrate me a bit, I think. Could you briefly discuss the use of this lens on the MT?

    And, at least you can say you tried and decided it's not for you

    Hope you are not expecting a response. You are responding to a six year old thread

    If the film cost is a deterrent, look into x-ray film. There's a (too-)huge thread about it here. Even the pricier Ektascan B/RA works out to 25¢ per negative on 4×5, including shipping. And you can load it under a red safe light!

    EDIT: Just saw the above-post. Oops. And I see that the OP sold his gear in 2010, so I doubt he's on the forum anymore.
