With the shutter speed maxed out and the aperture at minimum, I still would have needed a neutral density filter to take a correctly-exposed image.

I'm going to miss you. Mark Rabiner likes it a lot. I've only heard good things about the film. In my particular case, I rarely go below ISO 400, so a 100 film just isn't in the cards. I've learned to appreciate a 200 film, so perhaps I am edging my way there :-) Daniel On 3/16/06, Jeffery Smith <jsmith342@cox.net> wrote: > I'm getting very nice results with Fuji Acros.
