IMO, Agfa RSX series (probably also RSX II) films are the most neutral
(e.g. non-enhanced color") slide films in the market with true whites.
Invaluable for copy work.

However, for some strange reason these films, that look great
home-developed, usually turn awfully *dirty-greenish* with somewhat thin
blacks if commercially developed.

Their grain is also rather pronounced (for example RSX ISO 50 has more
grain than Fuji Sensia II ISO 100).
