Strange, how Sept. 11 brought us to use digital even if we didn't have another reason to do it ! BTW - FedEx: the way from B&H to Haifa Israel go through: Philadelphia, Germany and Istanbul ! but to be honest - I got it in reasonable time.

I tried one year to ship my film by FedEx to Honduras. It not only took two weeks to get there (with overnight rates), but a package of 100 rolls of film cost over $150 to ship! I thought it would be a way to avoid carrying film through x-ray machines, but it turns out that the only way to avoid that is to carry digital CF cards!!
