Dang!

Well, the link was only posted today/yesterday ...

I was wondering why it wasn't here but I searched two pages back is this forum and found no mention beyond older threads.

Delete as you see fit

I must say, I consider this good news in a sense. It shows that still film can be viable without hanging on the coattails of cine film. It's a shame for cinematography, but for still photography, it's a good omen I think.

I still find it entertaining that film is needed for archiving of digital movies. Not sure if that's ironic or not.
