Re: EIR EI.

["Des Crawley" <d.crawley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here in the Land of Oz - strong clean light- I use EIR rated at ISO 400
with normal E6 process and use yellow filter and achieve really very
satisfying results..great saturation, sharp, sometimes too much red as a
consequence of undifferentiated vegetation but always use with yellow
filter......Skin tones are somewhat cadaver like..but that could be the
beer. (Note the last comment refers to the subjects and not the
photographer !!)
