Last week I saw some prints done by
a colleague of Henry Wilhelm's (Wilhelm is _the_ authoritative source for
color photographic archival quality) and I was _knocked out_ by the
faithful reproduction of detail. I've more research to do but it appears
that obviating the enlarger also obviates the loss of resolution caused by
the enlarging lens. Regardless, it still makes a longer lasting print.

WTF are we talking about here? I never met one of Wilhelm's friends. There
is no case to cite. I was responding to an empty assertion made by someone
that Kokak (perhaps) disagrees with Wilhelm. The person cited no case on
either side. It's a complex area. Nothing was said. See? There is no case,
no issue.

[see the post id]

Greg, I think your message got munged. If you are showing a reference to
my speaking to one of Wilhelm's associates, or Wilhelm himself, you can
see that I never said that. I never met his associate. I only saw his
prints (and I like them.) Further, I don't know HW personally, either. I
spoke to him once briefly about his marvelous Newfoundland dog in passing
on the street in 1974 (or so) because we lived in the same town at the
time, and I have not seen him in person since.

I reread it: and obviously you only stated that you had seen the "prints"
but it just goes to show how easy it is get going on a bad line of reasoning
sometimes, and I am not immune to mistakes. Sorry for the confusion
on my part.
