Maybe now Kodak will give us what they should have done in the first place: The features of APS in a full 35mm format. Even better would be a super-35, with no sprocket holes, allowing the frame to be close to the full 35mm width of the film. (With optical film advance, getting rid of the sprocket holes should be easy.) Worst case, just have 1 hole per frame, aligned with the blank space between frames, like the old 126 film did. The drawback to a "super" 35 is that all our expensive scanners would chop off part of the frame, but it might be a worthwhile trade-off. And Kodak would love it: they could sell yet another generation of processing equipment to millions of 1 hr. labs. But I'm dreaming. With the strides that digital is making, I can't see Kodak and the camera manufacturers making the investment to tool up for a whole new system. I suspect the current formats are the last film formats we'll see, excepting special uses. ===== Bob Meyer Life is uncertain.
