Say, anyone know why Kodak and Fuji chose those color schemes? Konica is
blue, IIRC. No idea about Agfa. I think that covers the film-makers. Oh,
Ilford--no idea there either <G>.

In some exposure-guideline book I was looking at, the author got asked by
students "Kodak or Fuji?" His response was something along the lines of
"yellow for yellow, green for green--Kodak for scenes mostly of that
color, Fuji for scenes of that color." I've paraphrased that, but curious,
is there any substance behind that reasoning (or is it BS to get the
students to go take some pix instead ?)
