Re: [APML] Help: currently preferred films for presentation

Hi  Jeff:
I'm sure you remember that Don Westergren compiled a remarkable series of
lab tests and he now has them
summarized on his own website at
http://home.nethere.net/mpd/FilmTestSummary/FilmTestSummary.htm
I thought Jerry was going to put a link to Don's data on his site but I
don't see it there.

Pat Freeman also has an extensive test database with astro objects; these
are at
http://www.lunarpages.com/freemanpa/astro_film_tests.html

(BTW, I have yet to hear back from Kodak following my last "APML-film
petition" communication with them more than a month ago.)
Good luck with your presentation....
Bert
