Yeah, 82C, that's what I meant... really, really pale. I'll look for the
Nikon B2 tomorrow. I'm assuming you use a step-down ring to get from 62-55
or 52-49.

My experience as well. Mostly green-ish. I don't attribute it to the age of
the film 'cause I'm *sure* this stuff has been properly stored and aged. I
think its the Kodalux labs. That's why I contacted A&I last week... they
were reputed to be the "Chrome Kings." But they sold their processor (cost
too much to run) and the replacement from Kodak doesn't work to their
standards yet. I was hoping to take Kodak out of the loop for my processing
needs, but not yet.

Thanks! I'm gonna go nuts. I've got a (new-for-me) 35/2.8, 200/3 Vivitar,
and John H. rebuilt my 50/3.5 macro; it will be operational for the first
time since I bought it (for cheap).
I also picked up the old Olympus rangefinder 35-SP last week, just for
grins. Maybe it'll be my dedicated IR film body. The shutter goes "clink!
(with slight echo)" <g>
