Warmer than K64? I always found K64 plenty warm. Not sure how the fuji could be
warmer and still maintain color accuracy. Otherwise it sounds like it might be
worth
a try. I have to admit that my major gripe is the over saturated, high contrast
look.

Many of the newer films are very fine grained, but still seem to lack that last
bit
of sharpness. I think that may be part of the K64 magic. The extra bit of
sharpness
combined with it's warm color palette gives it a very special look in my mind.

Truly sad if that is the case. I do wonder how much longer the film and
processing
will be available.
