Re: filmscanners: Kodak Grand Central Diorama (Was: the 10 foot print from 35mm...)
Frank,
Thanks for the correction on this. It did seem working from 35mm would
have been "a stretch", obviously more a stretch than reasonable at the
best. I can't recall the subject matter of the ones I saw, just that
they were pretty impressive, and very large! Do you recall what the
enlargement ratio was from the 9" x 18" film image to _____??
