Re: [APML] First results with GEG

Darin;

     Your M42 shot on RGS-200 sure looks like it supports what Tony Hallas said,
RGS-200 is the old Kodak Ektar emulsion.  I have an old M42 on Ektar 1000
T-grain that looks exactly like your RGS-200.  The color balance is uncanny.
Thkx for the post...joe  :)
