Yes, still shooting slides. And still hope to buy a Rollei 66 Dual P Projector 
some day - for now my trusty P11 has to do.

With the brilliant fall colors up here  I am currently finishing some outdated 
Provia stock in my M6. I also have a roll of old Provia 400 in the 3.5E  and 
some 220 rolls will soon go into the "new" SL66. 

Not using Walmart as it is a the other end of town.  Dwayne's in Parson's KS is 
not cheap but reliable with super fast with return shipping and they are 
starting to include some coupons after I sent them three rolls from the M6.  

Will scan some slides soon. -  Here are four recent scans from Portra 160NC 
(ROlleiflex 3.5E):

Certainly, given the narrow exposure tolerances of chromes the SL66SE would be 
great to have (again) some day.  I am also getting somewhat interested in the 
SLX-600x line of cameras.  Anyone can recommend the best price - performance 
deal in those?  I like the "compact Kowa Six shape" of the SLX.  The 6008 with 
handle and magazine has a bit too much bulk for my taste.  How do the 
rechargeable nicads hold up over time?
