Edwin, what an excellent, comprehensive and informative article in such a prestigious publication. It puts forward a very good case for the small gauge film collectors and the reasons behind their choice of hobby. Can there be anything more satisfying than putting on a first class film presentation to an appreciative audience? Or, for that matter just enjoying something for your own pleasure. Long live film.
