The conversion was well and truly a done deal by then.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 04-07-2016 12:14 PM                     I also have my doubts about color films, those harsh blues, reds, and greens are not pleasing to the eye.
