I discovered an undeveloped roll of 126 ACN film, shot in the early ‘70s. Could you help me with a source for developing this film ?

Rocky Mountain Film Lab, 560 Geneva St., Aurora, CO 80010, will process your film as well as many other C-22-process films. In addition, Rocky Mountain can process Kodachrome II and Kodachrome II Type A, made prior to 1977; all older Ektachrome color movie films made prior to 1981; black-and-white films, including Plus-X, Super XX, Tri-X, and 4X; E-4 or E-2 slide films, including Ektachrome, Ektachrome-X, and High Speed Ektachrome; Kodachrome K12 or K11 slide film including Kodak Kodachrome, Kodachrome-X, Kodachrome II, Kodachrome F; Orwo foreign films; and Seattle Filmworks films. This is only a partial list of the films the company can process. For more information, visit www.rockymountainfilm.com/.

I am looking for the issue that had Fuzzy Duenkel’s “Fuzzyfilter” in it. I can’t seem to find an easy way to access past articles on the web site or to search for specific information. Can you help me?

We are working on a search engine for the archives that will make all of our lives a little easier. In the meantime, Fuzzy Duenkel’s Rƒ Cookbook about the Fuzzyfilter appeared in the WPPI 2004 Show Guide and the August 2004 issue (www.rangefinder mag.com/magazine/aug04/ckbkduenkel.tml). You might also find information on Fuzzy’s web site, which is www.duenkel.com/.

Do you know of any computer software that can be used to produce multi-image slide shows similar to what could be done using the AVL Show Pro III or V systems?

Since this is a little out of my field of expertise, I spoke with Jack Drafahl who is the king of multi-image slide shows. He told me that Adobe’s Premiere Pro, used with Adobe CS or CS2 is the closest thing to the AVL imaging system that he’s found. He also said that Premiere Pro outputs in HD (high resolution). If you would like more information, contact Jack via email at digitalduo@jackandsuedrafahl.com/.

Regarding Mr. Suits’ flash voltage question (March 2005), I have used a Wein Safe-sync HS voltage regulator, distributed by Omega-Satter, www.omegasatter.com/. The only problem is that it’s fragile, especially for the cost. I find the PC connection to the unit’s body the weak link with repeated use.
