Just noticed that when you click on this link you get a boiled down 640X480. That is not full resolution, and doesn't look half bad. Click on the 640 image once in comes up and the true size will be displayed and you will see the grain in all its glory.

I don't know what people are taking pictures of that inspire them to rave about the fine grain of this film, but personally I find the grain in the faces on this snippet offensive. I must confess that I have little experience shooting 400 speed transparencies, since I have shot 100 and slower all my life without giving the fast speeds much of a chance. So maybe I just don't know what people find acceptable. If people experienced shooting 400 speed slides think the grain in this example is perfectly fine, then I guess I just will never shoot with that speed film. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=62684&a=11115928 Frank Paris [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=62684
