But I figure you can always shoot Provia F 100 and get your one stop increase that way. (I ordered the 'cron, so I am biased though.) I really like Provia, and also the new Kodak Ektachrome VS 100. If I'm shooting medium format I prefer the Provia simply because Fuji film has a sort of DX coding arrangement on the paper leader that sets my camera's speed, and also better spools. It ain't no big deal though. Either one of these gives great chromes. Dave Stratton wrote: > >>>>>>>>>>>> > ARTHURWG@aol.com wrote > > The 35 F2 is a great lens, one of the best.
