Kodak Elite Color 200 (ex Supra): the finest grain I've ever seen with a colour negative film. Scans great, too. Incredible shadow detail. Pity they don't make it as rollfilm. Agfa Optima 200: my favourite rollfilm for industrial night shots. Needs far less tweaking after scanning than Kodak Portra. Kodak Portra 160VC: great general-purpose medium-format film. Finer grain that the Optima. Yes, I do prefer the VC over the NC. If I find there is too much saturation I can always reduce it after scanning, without an increase in noise. Cranking up the saturation from an NC scan will inevitably lead to higher noise. Konica 750IR: while stocks last. Still keeping a bunch of it in the freezer. Ralf -- Ralf R.
