Thank you for speaking out about APS insanity.  It is quite painful
to see a multi-million dollar marketing campaign promoting a new
film system that is just made to benefit camera and film manufacturers
(need something new to sell that is way overpriced) and film processors
(to cut down on labor costs and sell new autolabs) when some of that
money could have been used to promote a 3D system. I was
just going to go on about a dumb cropping system, and lack of film
selection, and why hasn't autoloading or a smarter camera-back opening
system been developed for a standard 35mm cassette, but that has
already been done. Anywho, 3D isn't bad the way it is, without the masses.

Let them eat APS!!!!!!!!!
