Thanks! Um, however, my brief side-by-side comparison of Elite
100 and Sensia 100 (same subject, film processed same time by
same processer) indicates that they are ringers in every way
except for a slight yellow/blue balance difference between
them. I find the same thing comparing the Kodak/Fuji "400"
speed (actually 320) chromes: they are virtually indistiguishable.
I have not used the 200 speed chromes, having heard the same bad
things about both of them. (Seems like one company copies some
of the other's products, when it comes to slide film [even
down to the faults].....;-)
Hope This Helps
