RE: PHOTO - Ectachrome EPN 100

John, I've found that for iris photos (another country heard from!) and garden 
photos in general, Kodak isn't nearly as Fuji, specifically Fuji Reala for 
prints and Fuji Velvia for slides.  The blues come out far, far better with 
either of these films.  They are more expensive than Kodak, but worth it!

Barb, in Santa Fe, home of Charles Mann (no relation) the 
rapidly-becoming-famous garden photographer, who uses Velvia exclusively.

Subject: 	PHOTO - Ectachrome EPN 100

I was going to send this to Dennis Stoneburner but thought perhaps it might
be of general interest.

Dennis, awhile ago you recommended Ectachrome EPN 100 for iris photos and
as I recall in that message you said Kodachrome was better for mushrooms
than for iris pictures. After trying all of the regularly available films,
I decided a few years ago that I got the best results from Kodachrome 64. I
do however find that it is very difficult to get an accurate reproduction
of blue. There is always more red than I see with my eyes. It seems that
most other films bring out even more red but is this the reason why you do
not like kodachrome for iris and will Ectachrome solve it? If so then all I
have to do is find a supplier of that film and so far I have drawn blanks
in my search.

Thanks
John Montgomery
