I fear I am woefully ignorant of the actual changes. I bought a piss pot
pile of the old stuff while I still could get it, and haven't had to buy
much new yet. I think FP4+ has gotten a bit contrastier, and the flesh tone
isn't as nice as it used to be, so I expect the red sensitivity also has
changed somewhat.
