Jim Brick:  I'm am curious; why does your system require two green sensors?
When I shot crime photos for the US Air Force we used, and they still use,
conventional C-41.  They used to only use black and white but I convinced
the cops color would impress a jury more than a black and white photo.  When
some bozo colonel ordered Kodak digital cameras for us to use, I reminded
him that DOD prohibited taking crime scene/accident photos with anything but
real film;;;chain of custody etc.  You can do some scary stuff with
Photoshop;;I used a M2 to photograph an aircraft crash into a civ apartment
complex.  Raining, local civ photogs used fancy electronic camera that
failed; I just kept on shooting;;;jh
