Yep . . . my sentiments also if you're shooting a lot of people up close.
I've shot two rolls of the new mondo color Elitechrome and one roll of
E100VS (120). Skin tones are "reasonable" and better than Velvia's under
good lighting and careful exposure, but Elitechrome 100 (sans the mondo
color) does better . . . it's more forgiving on lighting and exposure. If
you are faced (pun intended) with some skin tones using it, do *not*
underexpose. As the skin tones darken with slight underexposure they gain
a slight yellow/orange cast.
When you do shoot it, I recommend you try some frames in bright sunlight
and some under heavy overcast or deep shade. It will behave a little
differently under both circumstances.
