If you like the results you're getting with color negative film, you will die when you see what 50ASA Fujichrome will do. Granted you don't have the 1 hr develop & print capabilities, and your wife WILL point out that she can't send the double prints to her mom, but you will never go back. Slide films do not have the exposure latitude (spelled SLOP) inherent in color negative films. You have to gain tighter control over your exposures to use them effectively. Buy a roll of Fuji Velvia and shoot scenice of the coast, the trees, whatever. Shoot a roll of color neg film, and lay them side by side. This is one comparison that will yield a clear winner. Downside is, you will then have to buy your wife a MiniLux so she can get the double prints. Regards, Ben W.
