Subject: [Leica] Print Film Confusion / 2
From: Leikon35 <Leikon35@aol.com>

  There seems to be some confusion in speaking of Kodak Print Film
  and Film for Prints  They are totally 2 different things.

  Print film is used for making slides from negatives and Film for
  Prints is just another name for negative color.

  Both chromes & negatives give excellent scans and the decisive 
  factor is usually convenience rather than quality.

  The subject of comparing ASA Kodachrome to the best Negative
  Color film has been brought up many times & in my opinion is
  still debatable.

 Velvia is 160/80 lpmm, Super G 100 is 125/63 lpmm, and Kodak 
 Royal Gold 25 is 200/80 lpmm.  Velvia is the slide film with the 
 highest tested resolution, and Royal Gold 25 (AKA Ektar 25) is the
 highest resolving print film.
