Re: Help Me Pick A Color Film

Hi Derek,

I used to use Fuji NPL but not for pinhole.
If I remember well, the S stands for "short" exposures, like using flash lights
or under daylight (not that daylight necessarily means short, specially to us)
, and the "L" stands for "long" exposures, when working with tungsten
illumination. The color shift, I believe, could be corrected during printing
even if you decide to work under daylight. If you ever give the NPL a try, I'd
love to read about any comparison.
Cheers

Joao
