Don't forget Kodak Ektachrome 100S. It's not quite as saturated as the VS, and it renders colors very accurately. And just to reiterate what P�l said, transparency films should almost always be exposed at the rated value. Sometimes, you can get a little bit more saturation by underexposing a very small amount (or a little less by overexposing a small amount), but generally the rated speed is best. Negative films are different, because the film is an intermediate step, and the ISO can be adjusted to fine tune the end result to your needs. Paul
