RE: [APML] OK, the film?

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@netacs.net>]

Well John, those are very nice shots, and I am afraid the PPF is letting
more than just me down.  Fortunately, the Tony Hallas gun can be used to
eliminate many of the bluish grey pixels.  It does look like you are
experiencing the exact same thing as I have experienced with my PPF.  Thanks
for posting.  I am not shooting with my PPF any more.  I just bought a bunch
of 220 PPF, too:-)  It is probably OK for daylight?  Great shots, though
Try the gun on those blue/grey pixels.  It should not be too much of a
problem since most of your image has red highlights.  Let's try some of the
Agfa 400 for medium format next time out.
