P3D Realist to VM

[CanterMike@xxxxxxx]

Sid Herbage seems to have hit upon an elegant solution to duping with a VM 
format camera.  However another other solution occurs to me.

It is possible to dupe without a camera at all, in the same manner as labs 
use to make internegs, or perhaps more similar to micrographics.  A standard 
enlarger can be set up with an approprate lens to reduce an image.  With this 
example, it is possible to copy between virtually any format (MF to Realist, 
Realist to VM, etc.).

I'll leave the tedium of calculating how many VM chips you can print on a 
single sheet of 4x5 copy film (and the mechanics of correct registration) to 
others.  (I'd tackle part of it but I don't know the dimensions of a VM 
image....)
