Just to say, that I agree about the underexposure risk if the subject is partly shaded. The underexposure gives a blue cast as well, but otherwise this film is excellent, with bold colours and very good grain allowing for good sized enlargements. I tried it on a Carribean cruise and it was very good overall, except where there was some shading.Rain forest or parrots are all rendered very well.
