Hmm - in searching the archives I thought I had seen messages from
someone who said the dimples left a faint checkerboard pattern on his

200, and it has an anti-halide layer, but I am also  planning to
shoot some HIE, and some of the infrared ektachrome if I can find it.

Well, you know that prices can rise dramatically on the last day at

over .08.
