Alin,
This is not the original source accessed, (kept
getting "PAGE COULD NOT BE FOUND" when attempted to
send URL). FRUSTRATING!!!
Actually, I had to try this one a couple times before
it took.
The conversion factor is, again, expressed here as
"print film RMS x2.5 to compare to slide RMS."
Whether compelling evidance to everyone or not, it
supports info I read some years ago.
