Hi, don't overlook Kodachrome 64 and 200. Provided your local lab handles it properly it can be almost a reference standard for other types of slide film. It's not excessively saturated, nice neutral colour balance and it's very good at handling skin tones.
It also happens to be the cheapest way to shoot film, at least at UK prices, if you include the processing costs (Kodachrome is prepaid over here). --- Bob Tuesday, January 7, 2003, 6:06:39 PM, you wrote: > Has anyone ever made a chart listing film types and what they are good for?
