[rollei_list] Re: What is Velox? What are lantern slides?

Way back there was a contact printing paper called Velox. I used it in the mid-1950s through, I think, mid-60s, mostly for proofing or contact printing from large negatives. What you describe seems to be something else entirely. Kodak recycles some of its brand names into different product lines, it would seem.

What is Velox?

They can also be used to color "lantern slides." What are lantern slides?

I consider colorizing classic motion pictures to be blasphemy, and this
sounds like the same sort of venture.  However, since I do watercolor
painting, this might warrant some experimentation.
