Thge results that we've seen in the US have been excellent. Apart from a different "grain" pattern, the projected image is virtually impossible to tell from (some) film - colors were great, detail high. Overall, many enjoyable experiences. BTW, I like to think that my intelligence (and that of my friends) is a step or two above your characterization, although my income is definitely several steps below "excess disposable." <LOL> Tyrone -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Digitalpix stampa le tue migliori foto digitali su vera carta fotografica professionale.
