Haven't seen too >much Elite Chrome 200 on the shelves here, as I suspect the dealers are >running off their stocks of Elite II 200, so I've been shooting (more >expensive) E200. Yes, our dealers are doing the same thing. I bought the Elite Chrome 200 in Walmart!! We don't have a good selection of photo dealers here in Norman. Have to go into Oklahoma City. I will try the E200 again when I get in there or to Dallas. I do like the Elite Chrome 200! > I like it. Very fine grain for even a slower film, colors aren't over the >top, and you can shoot it on a sunny day. My standard high-speed color film >(when I shoot color, anyway) is K200, but it has too much contrast in >bright light for my tastes -- you can't pick out anything in the shadows if >you expose for the highlights. K200 pushes to EI 400 quite well, though -- >haven't tried pushing E200 yet. I have also been using K200 - but I may like the Elite Chrome 200 or E200 better, generally. fun to find out!! Dick
