While this is far from a scientific test or review-quality comparison, here is a quick impression of the differences in three excellent films. This is the same market, at the same time of day (different days), in similar, but not identical, light. The asphalt is the easiest place to see the color difference. I visit this market frequently, and, on my home monitor, to my eye, the Ektar rendition is the closest to "accurate" in
color. There is very little warmth in the color of that pavement viewed on the spot.
However, I prefer the shots (the best of which are not posted in this thread) on the 160s. The 160s shots (equalized for exposure) are not far off in color, they are easy to print and adjust and they still have a nice snap. Unlike the Ektar, the highlights in the 160s have lost little detail.
