Am I the only one being somewhat disturbed about the note, where it 
says that E-6 should not be regarded as appropriate for scientific 
and technical use?
I wonder what they mean with this....the only fact I can extract from 
this page is that it will be 200 ASA in E-6, and 100 ASA in AR-5, and 
that human lips will render yellow....
Assuming a larger format in this same emulsion will follow, 
resolution should not be the main argument....the actual spectral range 
doesn't seem likely either, as it is film related, not process. That 
leaves the possibility that the interaction of the three layers in 
E-6 prevents good foliage-analysis....maybe the shift from 100 to 200 
ASA isn't equal for all three layers....
