I guess I'll remove New Yorker from my distributors list.
Some of NYers holdings (Herzog for example) are available from other
sources, so it would be
nice to know what can be found through other channels.
On another note, New Yorkers print quality for 16mm was hit or miss. They
often sent prints out
that should have been retired.
