[Frameworks] a question about negative film stock for s-8mm

[Marco Poloni]

PS Andec FIlm here in Berlin sells Wittner Chrome V50 D (reversible)
cartridges (the Material inside is Fujchrome Velvia 50 Daylight):

As I said I should make a test Kodak Vision 3 50D vs Velvia 50D...

Thanks again Buck!
