I have done comparison tests and given them to art director who huddled with color separator and both asked for Velvia. My stock agency sends letter asking that I not use Kodachrome because it can't compete on the light table. The popularity with pros has to do, among other things, with survival. If ultra sharp images were a requisite for professional work in publishing or broadcast, we wouldn't have newspapers or television, only a few books and a few magazines. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
