Funny you should denigrate ISO200 film like that Winsor; I have always 
thought of ISO200 as nearly as good as ISO100 with the extra stop - 
print film anyway.  Surely transparency films are no worse?

As to the need for higher speeds (the general question posted 
previously), I often need to use a higher ISO film.  You who live with 
more sunshine might have forgotten how dark it can be in less sunnier 
climes.  However, I am on  a short break in Dorset (southwest of 
England) and the sun has shone for about 70% of the time, making my 400 
and 800 films almost redundant.
