I do agree with you regarding Kodak's intentions. I have a 100' spool
of Tech Pan in the freezer, and a few boxes of 4x5 HSI. I'm trying to
avoid their products based on principle, but I just got some shots back
from the lab from a trip to Utah in March. I was very impressed with
their new E100G. In full sunlight, I think the Velvia 50 shots are
better. However, on the overcast days, the Velvia was dull and flat,
the E100G looked like what you would have expected from the Velvia -
much more vibrant and saturated. I took 4 E6 flims and shot them all in
a row, I wanted to see what I liked best (Provia, Velvia, E100G and
E100VS). At least I narrowed it down to two :-)
