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

Jeff,
Bert was kind enough to help me get my film test data out to the APML group
and review my early data.  My data so far only covers 35mm color negative
film, not including the Konica brand.  You are certainly welcome to use this
data in your presentation.  If you have any questions, you can contact me
directly.
Don
