Ben:

Is this print or slide film? I'm not sure which. I'll look it up and try to buy some.
Thank you for your advice.

Bob

Bob - here's a departure for you: go Fujichrome.

If you like the results you're getting with color negative film, you will
die when you see what 50ASA Fujichrome will do. Granted you don't have the 1
hr develop & print capabilities, and your wife WILL point out that she can't
send the double prints to her mom, but you will never go back.

Slide films do not have the exposure latitude (spelled SLOP) inherent in
color negative films. You have to gain tighter control over your exposures
to use them effectively. Buy a roll of Fuji Velvia and shoot scenice of the
coast, the trees, whatever. Shoot a roll of color neg film, and lay them
side by side. This is one comparison that will yield a clear winner.

Downside is, you will then have to buy your wife a MiniLux so she can get
the double prints.
