Listening to the colors/ hues of different films reminds me of in the old days where if you’re going for reds or flesh tones you use Kodak. If you shooting plants or foliage, Fuji films worked best and Oranges popped with Agfa film. The color of the boxes were an easy clue. With new films it’s a whole new thing. I love your shoe. I’ve been shooting for 50+ years now and it’s fun to listen to your program! Keep it up!
