Great shots Jon! I have the same camera and lens. Was a useful walk around set up when I was in Asia.
Thank you Tom. The fm2n is growing on me and is in regular rotation. I originally was upset with the purchase (got it cheap, got a cla) as my old FM that I replaced the fm2n with was the early model with the shutter release lock collar instead of pulling the rewind crank out part way to trip the shutter. This is/was annoying as I am left eye dominant. But, I have gotten used to it. The 20ais is a new addition.

I keep tossing around the idea of building a Zeiss lens collection for my FM2n, but have never got that off the ground. I havent shot my FM2n since I returned back to the US. It's sat for now 3 years! The 20mm lens is great as you know. I have the 24mm f/2 lens for when I need speed in the aperture. Finally, for a short telephoto, the 85mm f/2 lens is very compact.
On a related note - happened upon some well-expired Velvia at a flea market, figured what the heck, right?
Nobody in Philly does E6. Any recommendations for labs? East Coast a plus, not worried about scans, I'm looking forward to doing that myself. Affordable is good.
Also, anyone have experience with expired slide film want to recommend how I should rate it? It's 2002, I doubt it was ever refrigerated.

Bleeker Digital in NYC is always recommended in other film forum threads. I got film developed and scanned there once, and it was great, but then I started doing it myself! http://bleekerdigital.com/services/film-processing/
