Tina,
I couldn't get into the site; I kept getting a signal that it was loading, but
nothing came up. Probably my slothlike dial up connection...
However, I do use Agfa Vista negative print film, particularly 100 speed
because my local shop sells it so darned cheaply; I can get a 24 print roll for a
buck. The film isn't especially low contrast, though enough that it captures skin
tones well. It reminds me of Fuji Superia, the film I used before starting on
Agfa, in that it provides nice colors, but not oversaturated. As one who shoots
print film, I like it very much.
Regards,
Michael Gerard
