Don't think so. Somewhere recently, after I'd been grooving on the Supra 800 thing for awhile, I stumbled across an article by the one and only Erwin (PHOTO Techniques? Leica Fotographie?) on 800-speed films. He kind of glossed over the films he didn't end up loving, but came out a fan of Supra 800, and something newish from Agfa I seem to recall... I hate to risk oversimplifying or paraphrasing incorrectly, though. Anyhow, I think he allowed as how the Fuji approach has been to use the fourth layer to try to compensate for wack color-shifts, and Kodak's been trying to just get the three layers REALLY RIGHT. Anyway, as in so many domains, it's best to go by how something works rather than how it's implemented. I wouldn't go shopping for a 3-driver speaker; I'd shop for a speaker which sounds good. I don't give a rat's great waddling backside whether a lens has aspherical surfaces; I want the picture to look good. The details are the realm of the implementors.
