If you are looking for a 400ISO color negative film I suggest you try
Kodak's Supra 400 in the professional range or its equivalent Max 400 in the
consumer (amateur) range.<<
Your post was a breath of fresh air, on several fronts. I read the LUG --
usually in bulk --to glean bits and pieces of information. I read lots of
don'ts; or opinions expressed as fact. I'm cautious of the later. As you
point out, old rules don't always apply. That's one of the reasons I still
find photography so interesting (and the real-time feedback of the LUG so
valuable). Advancements in equipment and materials are being made left and
right. I remember the days when something really exiting would be announced
about once a decade
Lately I've been going through Supra 400 like a hot knife through butter.
The more I use it, the more I like it. Works well for scanning and making C
prints. I do both, but I'm almost ready to put the latter to rest.
