I tried using a roll of Elite 200 for some technical photography about a year ago. The results were so grainy as to be useless for that particular application, and I had to redo the entire session. >And can anyone suggest a >200 speed transparency film that will have decent resolution? After that experience, I have stuck with the 100 speed Elite II since then. Perhaps Kodachrome 200 would produce better results? For high speed work I stick with either C-41 (Pro 400 is very good) or black and white (Delta 100, 400, and HP 5+). Will von Dauster http://www.fsl.noaa.gov/~vondaust/www.will.html
