I have been sorting through a huge pile of older images. 35mm/120/4x5 slides, prints and negs. I found a couple of 35mm transparencies that despite being stored in archival sleeves had adhered to the sheets.

Any recommendations on how to go about chemical separation of the film form the surface?

There are a few special labs near me (Tucson, AZ) so I could approach them but I'd be thrilled if someone had a good suggestion. I have not checked to see if I have any chemicals left or even PEC-12 hiding somewhere. [how ancient wet processing seems now!]

Thanks!

Beautiful photos.

As to equipment I recommend going to a camera store (if you can find one) and trying them out. What seems to feel right for you. I really don't think you can go wrong as long as you do a little research, read reviews and get what feels right. I did that ages ago and ended up with an OM-1 and have stuck with Olympus all along. (Flames ensue...) The one thing, other than size, weight, control layout that I liked about the OM-1 way back is that the "normal" lens aligned perfectly with my left eye if I left it open when shooting. Odd thing to consider but at the time I was impressed.

To counterpoint these things, what do your friends shoot? Having friends that you can borrow lenses from is a cool thing. A bit harder with some brands but I have been a few places and found fellow Olympus users and have shared lenses both ways.

haha! That's funny

Very nice photo. I have three cats, two abandoned or escaped and one born wild to one of the others. Free range cats here in Tucson are in grave danger of being food. Love your story and care for cats.

Wow!

Very nice photos and I love what the lens does too.

Beautiful! I miss the ocean, even though I grew up in San Diego. Love the first one.

I looked at it and blocked out the tree on the right but I like it with the tree. I look for shapes and the tree on the top right works with the shape at the bottom left.

I would love to see the original of the raven in the tree. Ravens are great birds. I need to see if there is a way to attract them to my yard...

Great photo.

That is a great shot and very sharp!
