| 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."

I use Kodak Portra 400 VC in the 120 format and Fujichrome Provia 100 
and Velvia 50 in 35mm.

| what brand of brushes he uses.

Well said!!!!
