No!
No!

Having answered the two questions posed by the OP I submit the following: I just got my first roll of Fuji Velvia 100 back two days ago. Erik just dit his thing to my Spotmatic. Can't wait to get is scanned at a high res and look at it.

Anyway, I called my friend the Professional Photographer this morning (I know he is a professional because he uses C***n) and asked him if he knew any place in El Paso (I live nearby) where I could buy a couple of rolls of Velvia. I received the following Email:

"Dear Film Addict,

Please be advised that neither my WD20 nor WD40 (boxed version) require film of any type, therefore I know not the whereabouts of said item. Also be advised that I do possess several Photoshop plug-ins which will simulate certain characteristics of said item.

To wit:

1) Velvia Vision v1.5
2) Genuine Fractals 5.0 Film Grain Simulator
3) Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete - Film Developing Cross Processor

None of which I actually use, since FILM IS DEAD!!"

The WD20 and WD40 references above are an inside joke. I referred to his new C***n 40D as a D40 (Apparently a N***n) the other day. He got his panties in a wad over that.

So there you have it folks, a report from the Badlands of New Mexico.

Under duress I will admit to owning a K100D Super but it is NOT in my signature as you will notice.
