Perhaps I should give Agfa another try. I used it a bit in the late
80s, but it was so inferior to the Kodak and Fuji products at the time
that I had to drop it. Course, the Kodak and Fuji products are at least
an order of magnitude better than they were then. so Agfa's got a ways
to go.
As for NG, definitely slides, as are almost all publications. I think
NG uses a fair amount of Kodachrome 200.
