Hi Greg,

Grain really shows up when there are plain areas of medium greys such as clouds or
smoke.

>>If you have read Kodak's technical data for K200 or for that matter any

The colour shift for K64 seems (to me ) to be not too noticable whereas on K200
it's quite pronounced. Velvia shifts badly on long exposures too but towards
green.

Using an EOS5 and bracketing most shots. You can see the range of exposure from
half stop too dark through correct to half stop too light and you take your pick
at home. Colour still washes out IMHO. Anyway one man's meat as they say.
