Re: [APML] What Film is Best?

["Marco Lorenzi" <lorenzi@libero.it>]

I agree with Don, my preferred film now is Provia 400F, *far* more balanced
than E200, quite sensitive in blue and yellow and just an edge less
sensitive than E200 in red. I would never attempted take a picture like this
one with E200 ;-)
