Positive about theNegative There are machines that easily and quickly turn digital files into negatives. They are called "film recorders". Unfortunately, all of the manufacturers have pretty much stopped making them because the world stopped buying them, except for the motion picture industry, which still uses them to make film reels for distribution to theaters that do not yet have digital projection. I used a DICOMED for a while; it was a nice toy. I heard that the Kodak LVT machines were wonderful, but Kodak stopped making them about 5 years ago. I think some company bought Agfa's film recorder business and still makes them. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
