   Thanks for that reply Bill, but I have to ask, you said;

"The film being used is standard motion picture negative film; 52/7247 and
>it's offspring. It's processed normally, C-41, and a transparency is printed
>from it."

   Is this typical for motion picture folks to use Negative Film?  I always 
figured they would use positive film and just go with it.  But from what you 
said about the latitude I guess it would make sense to use the negative film 
and all its attributes.  How much of this latitude is carried over into the 
transparency film?  And.... this must be special transparency film to go from 
the negative film straight over to positive transparency.  Is this true?!  If 
so, then it could very well be there might be minimal loss in latitude!!
