Hi Joseph. .As i said yesterday,i took another look at the pictures and noticed the ones from the Optima II look 'smoother' less harsh(these shot at 8am and 12 noon)than the ones taken the next day with Portra 400vc(shot around noon to 2:30 pm) I was not overly impressed with some earlier rolls of animal portraits,but maybe this will be a good mid day sun film. I'm stocking up.Have'nt seen a cloud in the sky for 3 weeks.
Dave ---- Begin Original Message ---- From: Joseph Tainter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On a trip to sunny, contrasty Mali in January I asked on rec.photo.film+labs for recommendations for low contrast ISO 400 C-41 films. The recommendation for lowest contrast was Agfa Optima II 400. I tried it and was very pleased.
