Cor,

>From what I remember reading somewhere (the sheet with the film? though I am
not very sure)  the 820 stands for its top level of sensativity so a 87c
will be useless.

I have only shot one roll of the 35mm todate (partly waiting for the British
summer to start and that could be quite some time at the moment!) and when I
tried a 87 filter I got VERY thin negatives.  The best filter from my
experience was a Hoya R72 (wratten 89b) but still had a slow asa.  It did
however show good whitening of foliage and darkening of the skys, though how
much different to Konica I am not sure as I have hardly used any of that
film.  However, I expect there not to be to much difference between to two
regards their sensativity, but we shall just have to wait and see.

I am unsure what speed proved the best results but I will post them when
can get at the files on my computer at work.
