I started using it when I was shoting paintings for some of my art books - somehow it was the only film on the market that did not have an agressive varm yellow (kodak is almost "orange" and fuji tends to overdue almost all colors) with the rsx II I was able to make a picture of cool colours from lemon to lime without the rest of the colours going stray. Eventually this film became my allround colour slide film and it is just as fine for portraits, nature and arts- a little soft perhaps over all but it always deliver pictures were I am comfortable with sending them of without being there to tell a printer to look out for some colour cast Nathan Wajsman wrote: >Hi Phong, > >I also shot some without flash but did not post those.
