Haven't seen too much Elite Chrome 200 on the shelves here, as I suspect the dealers are running off their stocks of Elite II 200, so I've been shooting (more expensive) E200. I like it. Very fine grain for even a slower film, colors aren't over the top, and you can shoot it on a sunny day. My standard high-speed color film (when I shoot color, anyway) is K200, but it has too much contrast in bright light for my tastes -- you can't pick out anything in the shadows if you expose for the highlights. K200 pushes to EI 400 quite well, though -- haven't tried pushing E200 yet. Chuck Albertson Seattle, Wash.
