[rollei_list] Re: Sammy Davis, Jr. and his Rollei

In 1962 I built a new color lab with a modified Pako dip and dunk processor 
forEktachrome.Sammy Davis Jr. did an assignment for Newsweek,on Frank Sinatra, 
shooting black and white and color. We processed the color  but unfortunately 
had a machine jam , ruining all of the Ektachrome. They could only use the 
black and white. Newsweek mentioned the problem but my friends did not name the 
lab.(Kurshan and Lang Color Service} Now I can tell.

by Rollei). Does anyone know if he
used it. I think I have a picture of the event in an old Rollei magazine.
