Even if true (and I don't dispute it) cine stock isn't the same medium - neither base nor emulsion - used for 35mm still cameras. If making 35mm cine stock is still economic there's no implication that 35mm still camera stock would be. I suspect there's not much "Hollywood" stuff originated on film stock - 35mm or otherwise - these days but I'd be very surprised if there weren't lots of 35mm prints made for distribution. -- John Bean |
