To transmit photos far into the future, print multiple copies of important images, label them well and send to as many people as you can. Some of them will survive for centuries.

My Kodak Ektar 203mm is in a Flash Supermatic shutter. The highest marked f stop on the scale is 45, but the iris can stop down quite a bit further than that. Does anyone know what that unmarked...
