Yes, thanks.
Many decades ago for a film I started but never finished, I made a
tests of 16mm black and white camera emulsions as they might appear in
a film -- in other words, printed. I found I liked direct reversal
prints from Plus-X reversal much better than prints from Plus-X
negative, and much much better than prints from reversal to negative
then to reversal again. Direct reversal prints had a glow, a texture,
a richness unlike anything else. To me a true "reversal" process
should include reversal printing.
I never tested printing directly to reversal camera stock.
