the"bright sun 100" film is the Gold 100 emulsion. Not the same as Royal Gold/Supra 100, which were ostensibly replaced by Royal Supra 200. Having shot all three films, the RS200 may be a technically better film in terms of resolution, but it renders colors differently, and has quite a bit more co

I think the reason is in great part because of the huge prevalence of slow-speed zoom lenses that practically required faster film. Had Kodak wanted to improve slower speed emulsions they could have. The money, however, was elsewhere. Shel > [Original Message] > From: J. C. O'Connell > > I
