Nix Film

[Tom Bowden]

I am simply stating from my experience, which was considerable in 60's. I also know that there were distortions by lenses, film speed and sprocket malfunctions, which would explain some things. Any duplication of film is normally done emulsion to emulsion and on a mechanical device, which also introduces it own set of anomalies. If the duplication is done emulsion to base then other distortions are introduced. Witnesses, who claim to have seen different versions, may or may have been caused by these anomalies. I do know that some people do not understand that you are photographing three dimension objects with two dimensional film. Any movement in the third dimension can affect both size and shape of the object. I hesitate to ever compare measurements between images for that reason.
