Risp: [APML]: slides as negatives

["Alfredo Zanazzo" <alferd@mbox.lol.it>]

I was following with interest all news on this list re the new Kodak
color films as the PPF, that I believe we have in Italy as Ektapress
gold 100-!000 asa multispeed, and now i hear that anything new
on the market is still inferior to a film that I began to use very long
ago!
In fact i could never reach with Fujiicolor HG400 or the new 800
(that gains almost nothing when ypered) results  obtained with the old
Fujichrome RD100 hypred and developed in C41 (with some
variations in developing times)
I did in 91 a Ngc7000 with two RD100 4X5 plates that has a resolution that
I never saw surpassed by any other photographer
on a magazine.
Of course even RD100 that gets a lot from hypering as speed gain
can not reach sentitivity of TP, and so i always hope tha the
color miracle film arrives...
It does not seem the time yet!
