Nice to hear Disco, I wasn't sure whether anyone still uses "real" film .

I once found an old roll of undeveloped agfa slide film and I thought it might be fun to get it developed to see if there was anything of interest on it.(I had no idea what was on it). I was told it would have to go to Germany and would cost me about $100.:(

My Dad was a professional photographer, all of the pics taken of me as a young'n are in 120 format.
2 years ago I had some pics developed from the negatives, it didn't cost that much.

They tested some lunar landing myths on mythbusters (search youtube!) This clip shows their "final nail in the coffin" of the lunar lander myths, namely pointing a laser at a retroreflector on the moon's surface and getting feedback.

Sounds very much like it was one of the old prepaid Agfa slide films that are now only processed in Germany (or it might be Switzerland). If it was one of the regular Agfa Chrome emulsions any prolab would be able to deal with it.

As for film, I still use considerable amounts of large format film (8x10, 4x5) for outdoor jobs where a digital back isn't suitable. I'd estimate around 15% of my work is still film based.
