I've plowed into the Kodak site looking for literature as to it's resolution differences but I can't find any. It's like they don't want you to know. They have a matched look film system. Matched from 160 to 400 From medium format to 35mm. VC for saturation like when the Fuji films came out and kicked every ones ass. NC for "Naaaaaaa I don't like all that CRAZY saturation I like a normal picture I can always punch it up in Photoshop". Mark Rabiner maybe the 160 is the 400 with a built in neutral density filter for your convenience and at no extra cost! :)
