Don't think I vented this theory/pondering on the list before: 

The special high-light effect on HIE is not proportional to image 
size on film....it is a fysically limited phenomena, so one would 
expect relatively less 'shining' with 70mm and 4x5/8x10 (how is that 
special order project going btw??) than with 35mm....and hence more 
'shining' with 16mm.

Which of course are all silly ponderings, since Kodak doesn't make 
HIE in 16mm, or at least doesn't offer it as regular stocked film.

But why settle with 16mm, if you can shoot motion picture on 
70mm?....;-))
