[Oostrom, Jerry] I don't know about that. Perhaps Kodak when they tried to
make this film better for scans didn't only do something about its toughness
to stand scratches, but also said: most filmscanners up-to-that-date are
around 2800ppi, let's make something that suffers less from grain-aliasing
in those kinds of scanners. That's what I like filmmakers to do if they say
they make a film optimised for scanning.
