Does anyone have any opinions regarding Kodak's recently updated formula for
Gold 100? It's gone from "GA-6" to "GA-7," and I hear that sharpness and
contrast, both, have taken notable blows in the upgrade (color saturation has
supposedly improved). Unfortunately, I don't have any GA-6 with which to run a
few comparison tests. Speaking of which, does anyone know where formula
information can be found? I'd like to know what I'm picking up before heading
over to the cashier, but packaging doesn't seem to indicate which "version" of
the film I'm about to purchase. Thanks.
(Of course, this thread is more for discussion and fun than to rant about how
film is being defeated by digital, so I hope the tone can stay reasonably
light -- :-D.)
