That's a good question. I did my tests on Velvia, and so it's possible that such differences were swamped by the unsubtle way in which that emulsion handles color. I guess I don't know whether to atribute what color differences I could see to color shifts versus the effects of contrast differences. Nothing too dramatic, though, at least to my eyes. ..........................................................................
