Hi Shel,
Quite obviously, color transparencies require more precise exposure than
any other film type, since they are the finished product. Unlike
negative film, either BW or color, there is no intermediate step where
corrections can be made. And transparency films generally don't have the
latitude of a multi-purpose BW filmm like Tri-X. You can't change paper
grades or enlarger exposure when working with transparency film. What's
on the film is what you get. There's a lot of real skill involved.
