I was surprised to get anything 8-) Have to get geared up for another season of shooting, and I'm out of Reala. Should I buy some more or try something different? I like it's low contrast, natural-seeming color, and long scale - it's quite tolerant of my guessed exposures. Downside is Vuescan doesn't get the color balance right from any of the Fuji films I've used - too red, usually. OTOH, I've worked on some old photos that are on Kodacolor II, and was really impressed with the tight grain, sharpness and good colors after 20 + years. Graham has done lovely stuff with Vista 200, and it's inexpensive. Some folks are praising Portra NC as a decent general purpose film. Others like Supra. I just don't like the garish color of the Kodak amateur films. Any ideas, anyone? Slides are out - I hate bracketing, and my scanner is useless on high density material. I do like low speed film in daylight to preserve the option of using f/5.6. TIA, CP - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
