If I have an assignment where I need both types of film, rarely these days, I use films of the same ASA/ISO, then you don't have to worry about changing shutter speeds or apetures if you have to switch a lens back and forth, body to body. And with the duping quality for slides from colour negs these days, you can almost work exclusively on neg film and have beautiful slides made that look like original shot transparency material. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
