I've not seen a box redesign, yet. Every film that gets redesigned ends with
with a new box, or words like "new" or "improved." The redesigned Fujichrome
64T was announced at Photokina. I suspect it will take some time to reach
retail, esp. since 64T isn't a film that is frequently reordered.
I have yet to find Agfachrome 50 RSX II on the shelves, either. But the
Agfacolor HDC Plus is there, albeit a more popular film here in the states.
Both of these were announced at Photokina.
For obligatory OM content: I was unable to get the reach I needed for the
300mm f/4.5 Zuiko and 2X converter lens test combo. As it was, I was
streached across a residental lot here in Las Vegas (even in a neighborhood
where lots are larger than the typical postage stamp size). I'll have to
compensate by evaluating the slides at a different projection magnification,
or reshoot in daylight with a film of similiar resolution to 64T
