David -

As is the case with many films, each has their use.  I use both because the way
I wish to interpret the scene may not be able to be done with one or the other.
 If you visit my Web site, you will see (perhaps) that the Kodak scenes could
not have been rendered with Konica's film, and vice versa.  Of course, we are
all looking for differing results, so the way you would wish to interpret may
well be very different from my vision.

Cheers -
