Not that it matters because the print quality in the magazine is terrible. Blown out highlights and a mesh pattern in the stuff shot in 35mm. I have seen black and white in National Geographic before and it was much better printed. By the way, did anyone notice how over-cropped and enlarged some of the shots by Norbert Rosing were in the polar bear article? These were shot on Velvia but you would swear it was a 400 speed film.... Best Wishes Dan States Madison WI > >I am writing this without having seen the NG issue in question, I am just >speculating.
