I'd make it easy on yourself and hit Wal-Mart in every town you visit. Fuji Superia ISO 100 will do you proud. I'd bet none of us "experts" here could tell the difference from any film posted online as long as the editing was proper. Something else to consider would be cost. At $6 per 4 pack compared to what local photo stores might charge could might influence you? Places like Wal-Mart have such a turnover their stock is generally up to date. I always look at the expiration and grab the newest. Walt SonC@aol.com wrote: > > >In a message dated 6/28/2006 8:02:38 A.M.
