Remarkable. Wonder if they're only offering the one emulsion sensitivity. Not much info in the WaPo article or the Alaris announcement.

Don't know, but I still have my T-70 and will probably try some once available.

I wish the luck. The infrastructure has been lopped off at the knees. There are still some places around LA that do more than 1 hour photos.

I've still got one 1-gallon E-6 kit. I don't think I'd trust it, though.

How old? (and what's the shelf life?)

Decades. Now just a curio, methinks.

Yeah probably so. Speaking of old, I have a couple rolls exposed from my Canon T-70 that were never sent in for development. They are several years old and I'm hoping they can still be developed ok.

No idea what's on them.

Always a surprise. On color stock, the latent image doesn't hold up as well as it does with B&W. But worth a few shekels to find out.
