I can't say I can "smell a Nikon from 100 yards away" but perhaps Kubrick was noticing the distinctive smell (stench?) of Kodachrome film. I use Kodachrome and love everything about it, except for it's odor when I'm looking at slides on a lightbox. Even unexposed/undeveloped Kodachrome has a distinctive smell. Eric Edelman [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.edelmans.org <<<<<<<<<<<<From: roland tcheng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I clipped this out of an article in the electronic version of USA Today reporting the recent death of Stanley Kubrick. (a few weeks ago, I've been busy) Apparently, he was a photographer before he made films. "There is a sexiness to beautiful machines. The smell of a Nikon camera. The feel of an Italian sports car, or a beautiful tape recorder. . . ." Hey, I like the look, the weightiness, the fit and finish, the feel of my Nikons... but the SMELL??!! Kubrick had a genius for imagery. but he must have had one heck of a sense of smell as well. :) Roland>>>>>>
