The rolls that I do contain quite a few flourescent shots (new babies in the hospital- shot with 400). The hospitals around here use cheapo flourescents that usually print very green and even the heavy correction key doesn't totally compensate. I have noticed that the 400 Superia that I have been printing has taken far less correction. The same applies with the few rolls of 200 I've done. It's funny- Wolf has been selling the 400 for quite a while, but we've gotten no 100 or 200 in; I guess they are exhausting their stocks of HG and FG.... I am going to give PORTRA a try, but my personal opinion is that Fuji has come up with a lalapolooza punch to Kodak's midsection with the Superia films.
