James is one of the photographers from which I have purchased everything he has to sell. I know for fact that James used a digital camera for this set so how could a 35mm slide of it exist?? Except if someone created one after the fact?? The last time James used a slide camera was for part of the Set 381 shoot&#8230; he told me that for that set he shot 1 roll slides and the rest digital as it was his first shoot that he ever went digital and figured he would take 1 roll at least using film just in case the digital did not work out. That was in 2005 &#8230; this slide being sold was shot in 2008 by the time James had gone fully digital. If you look close the slide being sold is actually &#8220;Photo 4&#8221; from that set &#8230; funny how a digital pic can be exactly the same as a 35mm print (unless a copy of course!!!!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>So buyer beware &#8230;. don&#8217;t buy<\/strong> and give this guy the satisfaction of ripping off a fan!!!!<\/p>\n<p>BTW &#8230; this is not the first time that someone has tried to get away with selling fake slides of Veronika &#8230;there are very few actually up for sale &#8230; I good sign to tell if a fake is if the image is EXACTLY the same as one currently in one of the sets &#8230;. if not then there is a very good chance that it is a true original.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah I see today a listing on eBay for a 35mm slide of our Veronika for Set 397.
