ORWO slide film

I was just reminded of this stuff, partly by finding some slides I had forgotten about. I used to use a lot of it, as it was cheap, being East German. Very. UT18 was the one I used most, a 50 ASA (as then was) film of unique colour rendition. It's the only film I know that could give a gold cast to everything, although cyan skies were much more common, as is a general magenta cast. I miss it - time for a digital recreation of the effect.

By 'eck....

Just how long does it take me to get round to doing anything? Somehow, life always seems to get in the way.
