Yes it does Gary, and thanks for the link to Kodak. Everything will really depend upon my lab. They have ruined or crudded up every single frame of every roll of 120 film to date. Actually - some came out really well - I must apologize - but they ended up being the underexposed or aborted frames due to an airplane or clouds. Figures.

They have fixed up the E6 machine - a new guy enthusiastic about my astro work, and he has 6 rolls for E6, and 3 for B&W. If it turns out to be good, then I will stick with the lab. Sure stuff will happen - but not every time.

Consider that I'm now shooting with 2 cameras - higher f stops, and longer exposures from 90 to 120 minutes. If I get all 10 frames - that can add up to 20 hours of exposure time. That's why I shoot 2 cameras with different lenses. It's 20 hours instead of 40. I cannot risk doing a poor job myself, but I cannot tolerate the lab continuously mucking up my film.

If I do the processing - I will go all the way with one of those complete systems with heaters, tanks, lift trays - the works. Then I can do E6 - B&W - all my landscape shots. I have no problem in sticking with E100 and E200 film for my colour work. I love that film - for everything.
