Thanks in advance. > > Richard Fulco > Minneapolis, MN I was told last week the 160NC is the evolution of VPS. That's flat wedding film for the automatic printers; low contrast with the emphasis on skin tones. The 160VC is the evolution of the Pro 100 film which had some real saturation and contrast. Although from what I can tell it is toned down from the Pro 100 to be less saturated and less contrast.. This might save us from having to rely on polarization as much for our saturation. But Fuji undoubtedly has more punch I may have to give that another shot. A tendency to want to go pink in the fleshtones no doubt. But I may need to live with that because punchless color shots don't often do it for me. I remember the old Fujicolor 100 wow! Mark Rabiner
