NPS 160, NPH 400, NPZ 800: all lower contrast, like the Portra NCs. NPC 160: higher contrast like the Portra VCs. If it has the C, it's contrasty. Everything else is normal. ...and Agfa's lick-tabs taste like after dinner mints! I have also found Fuji's reels to be both the easiest to seat in the camera and the easiest to load film onto, with Agfa second and Kodak a distant third. Agfa are easy to get the film into, but harder to seat in the camera, which I find odd, since they have more slots to fit the pins into. But then, I am not an engineer. After four years with the 67 (its fourth birthday was in late March or early April), I've become much, much faster at loading it. Practice, practice, practice. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
