The film was in fact Kodak Portra 400. The reason for my confusion is that in an attempt to find something to replace Tri X (to get out of processing my own film) I have tried all sorts lately. HP5 and Delta with prepaid processing and Portra and T400CN processed at the local 30 minute Agfa guy. I am currently working on scans from all of them and that is what led to my confusion. I have settled on T400CN because my local processor prints the 6x4's on Agfa colour paper and it prints almost true b&w. It also scans as b&w, unlike the Portra which comes out blue. I never print any images I just post to the web so I have no experience of how it will look when enlarged. How much do I like Kodak T400CN? I just bought 40 rolls of it. Sorry again for the confusion and thanks for looking. Graham http://geebeephoto.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
