btw, do you use windshields for the flower shots? Frantisek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions. Don't forget to visit the Pentax Users' Gallery at http://pug.komkon.org .

If you're a fan of Kodak's Portra VC films, give a roll of Fuji NPC a try. Very high saturation, good skin tones, very fine grain. Same drawback, though -- no latitude, so good exposures are called for. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Saturation in ISO 400 C-41?
Joe, I would recommend you also consider Agfa Optima II 400 and Kodak Supra 400. I believe both are finer grained than those you mentioned and quite saturated.

Agfa Vista 400 JT and Superia Extra 400 look like possible candidates. Has anyone compared JT their color saturation? Are there other candidates I should consider?

Once said this, in the process of getting used to the MZ-S, I have used several negative films, and I tried the Agfa Vista 400. It is saturated, but it is also the worst Agfa film I've ever tried, it is grainy, not sharp at all, and its lack of contrast sucks. I have also (and my wife has used it a lot in the last pair of years) used Superia, both in 100 and 400 ISO speeds. The 400 Superia is an excellent film, it yields very good colour, saturated but not unnatural, and the grain is not noticeable, even in the enlargments we've had done, although those are not big (18x24 cm., I think). It also scans very well. -- Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain -- - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
