Re: [ATM] 8" Astrograph

["Pat Bunn" <pbunn@patbunn.com>]

I don't think 35 mm color slide film is dead quite yet. I do lots of film
photography up to 4 x 5 and am not quitting quite yet. In fact the new 35mm
slide films are the best yet for astrophotography. See Michael Covingtons
article on Astromart.
