Dave said, among other things: Also the Kodak site shows Tri-x is iso 320 and 400. No iso 100 or 200.?? I realize i can pull if need be,but just curious as to the absence of the lower speeds. To the best of my knowledge, there's never been a 100 or 200 speed film named Tri-X. ER

Ah, that would be different, wouldn't it. $99 seems a bit steep considering you can upgrade to CS for $169 and get a lot more than just a raw converter. Anyway, sorry I wasn't much help. Dave Not to mention that Elements 3 is supposedly going to have the converter too, and sell for less
