Sonny -

I haven't tried that film yet.  If I could find a way to do this thing 
with my usual M & 21/50 combo I'd rather go that way.

However, the first time I made a quick white balance adjustment with 
the leetle slider in the RAW converter and saw the colors I remembered 
pop out just like that I was hooked.

This color business for me is a touchy thing.  Color seems like a 
really strong emotional element to me, and in the past I shot B&W in 
these situations to eliminates the potential conflict between the color 
palette and other elements.  Only since I tried it with my DSLR have I 
started to feel like I wasn't fighting the medium for these kinda 
snaps. So as far as this available light color thing goes the 
flexibility of digital capture has my vote for the moment.
