"An order of magnitude" better than Provia? That's hard to
believe!...!100 iso, or various speeds?

I am 'Shocked and Dismayed" -- well, not really -- just surprised a
little
:-) that nobody has mentioned all the NEW FILMS at PMA or just out. I've
tried several ( dozen or so each) of the new Kodak G films -- they will
rock your world! Mind you, a bit .... (it ain't love. but that's
alright.) About an order of magnitude better than Provia 100 F (I'll
switch from a hard Provia user about 50%) in terms of color saturation
of the GX, and grain /sharpness - clean whites and singing flesh tomes
on the G .. they will be hard to beat . UNLESS ..UNLESS.. Fuji Velvia
100 can do it!! Haven't seen that in my dealer's fridge yet, but it WILL
have to be love to get a total switch to a new film .... The Kodak
offering is that good . Try it!
