Well, I've stopped using the Supras entirely as well. The problem I had with Supra 400 was grain aliasing with 4000 dpi scanners - - both the Polaroid and the Nikon. I ended up with shadows shot through with brilliant pure red and green flecks that were impossible to eliminate with any kind of levels adjustment. The resulting scans were virtually unusable. Other than that, I liked the film, and got some very good conventional prints from it. I find Supra 800 to be rough, coarse, grainy and unsharp, even in chemical prints. Compared to Fuji Press 800 it's not even in the same ballpark. Paul - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
