It is the first 400 slide film which I consider usable for anything other than situations where you are desperate for light and therefore will put up with poor image quality just to get a picture. I really like this film. The E200 pushed may be slightly better according to Erwin's tests, but for me pushing slide films means that I have to go a pro lab and pay double, whereas with normal rating I can just drop it off at my neighbourhood photo store. In any event, thanks to Erwin for providing this *factual* information!
