So that takes out Provia, fine film that it is. I do tend to shoot exclusively
fuji, either superia or nps/h depending on the occasion, underrating by 1/3
stop for good measure. Only one experience with
NHG II 800, good stuff yes, but like all Nxx films, costs me 4x as much as
Superia. So tend to use it for formals (weddings, graduations) and shoot 4x
more superia at all other places :)
