Thanks Shel, I picked up a roll of EPP. I'll give it a try. In my former life back in the late seventies, when I was shooting a lot of transparency film in my Mamiya TLR, I used EPS, which was an ISO 200 film. I was quite fond of that. I suspect EPP is a similar formulation. The woman in the store seemed to think it was more contrasty than Ektachrome 100, and slightly less saturated with more pronounced grain. That might be a nice combination for a lot of the things I shoot. BTW, I bought that Chevy in LA and brought it back here to Motor City where it belongs :-). We do the Woodward Dream Cruise every August. (I wear my Elvis wig and gold sunglasses.) I had a 55 two door post car in the sixties and spent years looking for another 55. The convertible was my holy grail. Paul
