Jack, how did you find the NPZ ? (BTW, is that ISO 800 or 400 ?)
This film is quite expensive here in Israel, though the NPH (400) can be
purchased at very affordable price in pro shops.


Regards,

I just switched from NPH II to NPZ with good results. Before that I used
NPH, also a good choice. When there is enough light, I love Reala. But
shooting a lot indoors, high speed is a must.

On trips, I always carry both, NPZ and Reala. Good luck Herb.

Hi everyone,

I'm leaving for my vacation soon, and although I'd like to evaluate my
camera equipment against various films, film processing and digital
post-processing, there's really no time. I'd like to solicit this group's
recommendations for the "best" out-of-the-box color negative film to use
with a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 and PolaColor SprintScan or Vuescan. I have
read good things about Kodak Supra 400 and Fujicolor NPS 160, and the
purpose is mostly hand-held travel pictures under various lighting
conditions.

Many thanks in advance,

Herb
