You must have got a duff batch then. There is very little difference between this and E100VS normally. The difference is so marginal that EBX (extra colour) is actually a much better buy. Besides, this version dont need to be kept in a fridge.
I use EBX interchangeably with Velvia, when I want 100 ASA I use EBX, otherwise Velvia. EBX has the same saturation, and very good grain for a 100 speed film. EBX leans slightly more on the magenta side, whereas Vevia leans to the greens in comparison. > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 30 April 2002 17:18 > To: pentaxdiscuss > Subject: Re: Free film/Cheap film > > > "Rob Brigham" writes: > >Everybody in the UK buy Amateur Photographer this week. > >You get a free roll of 36 exp Kodak EliteChrome Extra Colour. > >I am going to buy 10 copies this week! > > If this is the same consumer-variety extra color > Elitechrome that Kodak > sells over here in the US, you might want to develop the > first roll before > investing in 10 magazines :-) > I tried some last summer and found it had a very > grainy, almost old > autochrome look, whereas the professional variety of this film has > practically no grain in comparison. > > hope that helps, > patbob ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
