I did mention in a messae to this list on 11/3 that I'd gotten a couple of sample rolls from Kodak when I attended the Flying Short Course put on by NPPA. I've gotten back one of the two rolls. I shot it at its nominal rating of 200. I'm extremely pleased with the results. Even tho' most of my commercial work is people, I shot mostly nature with this film using a tripod. I like the color and fine grain very much. Am looking forward to shooting the second roll soon at 320, which Kodak says is a one stop push. BTW, the 20 rolls that I ordered and received after testing the first roll have the exact same emulsion number as the two test rolls. And I ordered the film from a vendor in Belmont, MA, no less (Zeff Photo; they only had the one brick last week. Unique Photo in NJ has 20 roll boxes of it).
