G'day Carl,

I have shot several rolls of the E200 and it's quite a remarkable film both
at 200 and 400. Rolls going to lab this morning shot at 200 vs 800 as an on
location testing. I'd take some to Paris as you'll be very satisfied with
the results. 

Actually I'd be inclined to take more 100S &SW and the E200 than Kodachrome
these days.

Grain at 200 and 400 is very close to 100S and SW and it appears if you are
in a tight light situation the E200 handles 800 very well, if required.
