Check out May 1996 Sky&Tel, cover shot.   Taken by J. Horne with 8" Schmidt Camera 
(apparently NO filter used), using Kodak Ektapress 100.   Reddish haloed stars.  
Because of this, he communicated to me his dissatisfaction with this film.  This 
emulsion may have some "commonalities" to the new Ektapress Multispeed 640 
("PJM").  Thus, it might be another piece of data to help solving the puzzle.
