The Gepe Card Safe Extreme Combi is designed to hold two Compact Flash or Microdrives,
Smart Media, Memory Stick or MMC/SD cards. Each card compartment can hold any
of theses cards. In addition -- on the opposite side -- it can hold
one Canon NB L1 or NB L3 battery or an Olympus LI 12B battery. When not used
to hold a battery that side accepts two additional CF cards or Microdrives.
Anti-static material protects memory cards from erasure or damage from static
while a shock resistant special insert material provides protection from impact
and shock. The case is water and dust proof for protection in wet and dusty
conditions and even floats for improved safety at the pool, on the beach or
on a boat trip.

Kodak Company has announced enhancements to its consumer and professional film

400-speed film, adding more flexibility for clearer, sharper pictures in underexposed
situations, such as low-light and extended flash range conditions. KODAK MAX
Versatility film is said to provide the best skin tone reproduction, fastest

120/220 (medium format) and sheet format films across the entire PORTRA film
family, including 160 and 400-speed NC (natural color) and VC (vivid color)
PORTRA films.
