Arturo,

Back before the release of E100SW and Astia I used to use the RSX100 and =
was very pleased with the film.  It gave a nice warm cast to the slides =
very similar to the E100SW, I thought.  The E100 has a tighter grain =
than the RSX had and for this reason I switched to the E100 films.  The =
RSX also was a true 100 speed film where the Provia, a very "cold" film, =
I rated around 80 or slower.

I never had any complaints from the RSX 100 and had several magazine =
covers and many double page spreads shot on this film.

Can't remember, but I don't think this film pushed too well, but it has =
been 2 or 3 years since I shot any of it.

The best thing about shooting this film is that no one else shoots it =
too much so you can always tell which film is yours just by looking at =
the codes. :)

I have recently started using RSX100 color slide film on a limited basis =
and
so far, I like it.

Any Luggers have experience with this film?  Best uses?  Limits?

TIA

Arturo
