Re: FS4000 vs SS4000plus (thick fuji film base)

[byard pidgeon <bluedove@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some sheet films came in "thin" and "thick" base, maybe still do...but
doesn't it seem likely that 35mm films would come in only a very narrow
range of thickness, because almost all of them will be sent through
automated developing and printing machines, so a variation of thickness
great enough to cause focusing problems would be likely to infuriate the
processing people, and would be noted by the photo magazines, and would kill
or seriously maim sales???
