RE: [APML] 120 Films

Don't know about print films, but I did try Provia-F 400 this past weekend.
The slides appear a bit weaker in red than E-200, but possibly better in
blue.  Only the scans will tell for sure, since I shot this roll with the
Pentax 105mm at f/5.6 and the details are a bit small for my loupe.  I may
have one of these to post before the weekend.

I'll give the NPH400 a try next month, maybe NHG800 as well.  I've always
got a piggyback camera set up, so it's easy to run film tests on wide-field
stuff.  Think I'll use the 200mm lens, though, so I can make direct
comparisons with previous E-200 shots.  

I also tried hypered PPF 120 for the first time with Borg 100ED at f/4.  The
negs look even and pretty dense, but again the scans will reveal the actual
results.  If any of these turn out, they'll get posted sometime this week.
