I thought I'd sent this question to the list, but it never seems to have arrived (or perhaps I missed it, in which case I apologize for reposting). I'm new to color print films, having shot for some years with Velvia, various Kodak emulsions, Agfa Scala and -- and, more recently Provia 100F. I intend to do my own printing; an expert has promised to give me lessons. What flavors of color print film do LUGgers suggest? This world seems complex: I'm told that the Fuji consumer films are *sharper* than the professional line; can that possibly be true? I'm sending this to the LUG, because I intend to shoot, for the most part, in a Leica-like way: hand-held, using available light, often at longish exposures. By the way, since I intend to pay only for the negative processing, is there any reason to pay the premium for a professional lab? (If I can get away with cheap one-hour processing at the local drugstore, it would be nice.) cheers, Douglas Cooper
