Hi Dominique; for colour trannies, I have nothing better then Astia (sigh) for beautiful skintones etc. I used it at EI 80, prefering the luninous highlights that this gives. Where I used to work has a Fuji Pictography 4000, which gave beautiful output from good scan - nothing I have seen yet rivals it.

Now that I have moved stores, I am back to shooting colour neg, as I have access to RA4, so I can print my own work on Fuji Crystal Archive papers. I prefer softer colour neg films - Agfa XPS, Fuji NPS, and at last resort, the Kodak Portra series. My curent fetish is Fuji 1600, which gives decently large grain, and great blown- highlights. The irony is that in B+W I shoot 8x10 film, and at the same time, I use 35mm highspeed infra-red (one of the grainiest films on the market) and Fuji 1600...two ends of the spectrum.
