OK all you Palo Alto kids... I remember Page Mill too, they could process movie film too, at least for a while.. BUT, how many of you remember PA's grand camera store, "Keeble & Schucart" ?? (sic) They carried tons of photographic supplies especially KODAK film.
Since I've only shot motion picture FILM, "Keeble" was the place to get it more-so than your local drug store. The local drug store carried the 50-foot yellow boxes of ASA 25 and sometimes
Ektachrome 160, but "Keeble" could get you higher film exposures, especially in B&W on up to about ASA 800.. Remember the old TRI-EX and 4X films... Yes, the memories !!!
