When I last visited photography Tri-X was considered to be ultrafast (so was Kodacolor 100...). My preferences are to natural light photography, a lot of it is done in somewhat dim surroundings. I also do nature work. I'm currently using Kodacolor 400/1000 print films. My questions, basically, are: is there a decent equivalent slide film? Is there going to be a noticeable grain difference between 400 or 1000 and a 100 speed film? As I'm also interested in doing some astral work (I have a friend with a good telescope) what kinds of films should I consider for that? chuq -- From the depths of the Crystal Cavern: Chuq Von Rospach {amd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Dreams, dreams, enchanter!
