Thanks Nicky,

Oh , all this makes me feel like I've been missing out on all this "codified
masonic film action" for too long. (<<40 frames.>> etc)

I should have just got my tape measure out...
I suppose this is all down to being a child of the metric age.

One last question - So - my counter on the picsynch is reading out feet as
opposed to screen seconds? (I've only just got it)

This has all shifted my paradigm, man.

best wishes

greg
