Hi Paul,

Thanks for your comments. Autumn in New England is in a class by itself, so
I'm sorry the weather was uncooperative. We had the same problem last year.

The Superia 400 was something I originally bought for my wife's P&S. Then I
nibbled one roll and was quite impressed with it. It has all the virtues of
a fast film but really improves on the usual liabilities: the grain is
there but it is quite sharp and even. 8x10's are very acceptable to me.
Very satisfying unless you want to get up to the 9th or 10th degree of
seriousness.  And I'm a guy who thinks of 100 ASA as fast film.

You really can't judge a film from pics on the web. Shoot a roll when you
get that baby all decked out in holiday rags!

Best,

Joel
