Re: filmscanners: Kodak Grand Central Diorama (Was: the 10 foot print from 35mm...)

Frank,

Thanks for the correction on this.  It did seem working from 35mm would 
have been "a stretch", obviously more a stretch than reasonable at the 
best.  I can't recall the subject matter of the ones I saw, just that 
they were pretty impressive, and very large!  Do you recall what the 
enlargement ratio was from the 9" x 18" film image to  _____??
