How does it seem to work out that way? I have a nice beater Ch. -4Ti
that shows (and usually uses) K64 in the film reminder, and a black
version that similarly works with ProviaF 100. must be some un-written
rule....
But on the subject of -2n vs. -4Ti, I have to say that even though I
started this whole downward spiral with a great -2n, I have rarely
looked back. Nostalgia: yes, but functionality: no. If one is to get
the most out of their fast lenses, a good elec. shutter is necessary,
but to really get the right exposure, one has to spot meter what they
know, and let the camera do the rest.
True, the -4Ti isn't as nice to hold as the -2n, but if one needs that
absolute accuracy (as with most slide films) the -4Ti wins. That said,
my bag is usually Black -4Ti and a Chrome -1n (with gorgeous Spark's
skin) back-up. Lenses are 28/2, 85/2 and 135/4.5. I still haven't
found the ideal flash, so both the F280 and T-32 get taken along, but
rarely used.

Actually, I usually have the three 4's of the T persuasion loaded and
rea= dy to go all the time, the Champagne Ti with Kodachrome 64, the
black Ti wit= h Provia 100, and the black T with Provia 400.
