In the data guide, I ran accross this statement about Kodachrome 200 . It stated " When the film is push processed, the color balance will shift in the magenta-red direction, compensating for some of the greenish artificial illumination present in most stadiums and other large facilities.". This supports your statement about Allen Harvey. In the end, I used Agfa RSX 100 pushed one stop. I just finished developing the two rolls I shot this afternoon. When they dry, I will post a web page if I have any good shots. I was using an R7 with motor and a Leica 400 2.8 and a manfrotto monopod. On the subject of slide film, I have been using RSX 100, for the past few weeks because it is so cheap in 100 foot rolls. I paid $66 CAD or about $43 USD for it as fresh unexpired film at my local dealer. I see it is about $78 USD from the New York Mail orders. It is pretty good film, but not the same as Kodak's E100 or the Fuji films when it comes to fine grain. Since it was cheap, I thought it would make a good film for sporting events and the such times when fine grain doesn't matter. It does a good job on the fall colors as well. I shot my first roll of it of fall colors to test it.
