Re: [APML] Konica Centuria super 400

Dom, I had to pick myself up from the floor laughing. I opened the first link thinking it was your Schmidt Camera shot and I thought "How the heck did he take this picture with his Schmidt for 5 minutes?" Then scrolled further and found the image you meant. No doubt jet-lag is playing a role in my life still.

I think it shows promise but 5min on your Schmidt is a LOT of photons so I'm not sure I'm amazed by the film's performance. Still, nice to have options. Thanks!
