It's too all encompassing, not to forget, it just isn't true! An example. If you were to look in my book on the medical profession "This is Our Work. The legacy of Sir William Osler." I'm sure you'd disagree with the above slide film quote, as the book is all B&W negative photography. I suppose I could've shot it on SCALA B&W slide film to match the quotation, but the photography wouldn't have been anymore powerful, nor would the pictures have been any better captured on slide film. I'm sure what the quotation means is; "That when using colour film... the best reproductions are when using slide film." But in the world of colour negative film quality of today, I bet this would also create quite an argument. For my money as the quotation stands, it's all wet! ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
