Yes, everything is relative to the point from which it is assessed. (This

My take was that slide films are better - period. But that's true only from
my perspective of slow-speed high-definition film. As Emil pointed out, from
his perspective, high speed neg film is better than high speed slide film.
And I would tend to say, with certain exceptions as Barry's pointed out
here, that he's probably right.
