The PJ/Documentary film of films... ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Jeffery Smith Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 4:54 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Re: Digital M - was Leica to Restructure, Cut Staff Back when they were making the Retina? Hmmm. The lenses were good, but they were Schneider lenses. I thought as early as 1968 that Ilford was better B&W film, and Chinese-made Seagull paper and Ilford paper were better than Kodak. And then they really decided to get frugal and put less and less silver in their paper, and I couldn't get a true black from it. Sorry, but if you put Agfa, Ilford, Fuji, Kodak, and Konica head to head, I have Kodak beating Konica. Konica's 50 ISO C-41 film is absolutely dreadful. Sorry Yellow Father, but I've never considered you to be best of the best in my lifetime. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA BD said: >So Kodak is the "best of the best?"
