Thanks,
I know C41 would be a cross process but i thought colours on Black would
stand out better than on Clear and cross processing stills produces more
contrast and saturation although with colour shifts.
If i used neg i'd then have to print - through a lab presumably or get hold
of some print stock - and how do i tell if it's exposed correctly given that
negatives aren't easily intuitively translatable to the eye (my eye anyway)?
cheers
Mat
