Judy,
Quute frankly I am surprised by the vacuousness of your comments about
Super XX. Very few if any of the persons on this list fall into the
category of the "average consumer" when it comes to the purchase of
sensitized photograhic materials, and as to what the average consumer might
think about Super XX, frankly mah dear, I could care less. I have nothing
agaist digital photography or photoshop even though I don't seriously use
them. On the other hand I am very intersted in large format work and while
I don't lie awake at night lamenting the demise of Super XX film it is of
some significance to me and others to note that this film was one of the
best, if not the best, for zonal contraction and expansion.
