Love that stuff works great on the Rolleiflex. And NPC comes in 220. Will lighten your load and you feel like your missing less shots if things start happening at all fast. But 160 ASA film 6x6cm that's good for wall sized blow ups with a tripod which I'd hate to leave home with medium format slow film. Some people think of the 400 as their high rez nowadays. I'm standardized on NPZ. ASA 800. I like to shoot hand held more. For tripod work I'd bring some 400 NPH. I think that stuff is good for big-time landscape work having a 200 to 300mg scan made from it for a 20x24 to 30x40 print. But I'm sure not everybody agrees with me. Some of these "guys" do shoot color neg! But if THAT was my main thing I guess I'd go 160. And not shoot transparences. I don't understand the lure of transpananies. They are a slow expensive pain as far as I go. I hate bracketing everything and shooting at ASA 100. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
