For all those people who have just started to use the new Kodacolor VR film......... In this months Modern Photography magazine is a compairison between the VR film (both 100 and 400 ASA) and Fuji's "NEW" film (HC I think it was called). The article said that the grain was the same but the color was better and more alive. I don't know if Fuji will come out with 1000 ASA or not. -Kurt Nusbaum ihuxu!nusbaum

I quote from the last two paragraphs: "In a hair-splitting side-by-side comparison test pairing the new ASA 100's and the new ASA 400s the Kodak films have a barely visible edge in sharpness, and thir grain patterns appear to be slightly 'smoother.' In the color reproduction departments, the Kodak prints exhibit slightly superior color accuracy, but the Fuji prints score in terms of brilliance and 'snap.' In terms of that elusive and subjective entity known as 'overall picture quality' it's a pretty tough contest to call." I don't believe that this can fairly be paraphrased as "the grain was the same but the color was better and more alive." Alan Berenbaum BTL houxj!adb
