Daryl,

Thanks.  The accurate colour is what I remember most from the Agfa of 20+ years 
ago.  I remember one shot of my toddler son wearing a new, royal blue jacket.  
The colour was rendered perfectly, but overall not the blue bias of Ektachromes.

What about grain and grain structure?  (Not that those trump other factors for 
me.)  And where are you sourcing it?
