I haven't looked at the Freestyle catalog lately, so maybe I'm off with
this -- but what do they call the "Arista" (and I think they're all with
an "a" not an "o", which is I think something else) continuous tone film,
which I gather is subject of this discussion.
I ask in case of possible confusion with the Arista *lith* film, which is
titled APH or APHS, in use by many of us for contone, also by Liam for his
reversal, Dave for his pos-neg, etc. I'm wondering if any of the platinum
mavens have done? It's EXTREMELY bargainful, and I note, comes in 20 by
24, which could be cut (if my higher math skills serve) into two 12 by
20's.
