Thomas, everyone is entitled to a personal opinion, you can take it or leave it, up to you. I have spent the last 26 years in mp laboratories, I think I am qualified to give my opinion. I have used mp film for stills, just about every one available, I liked fuji 64d the best but that is just my opinion. They were all developed to ecn standard, but I found normal c41 films better quality when printed on to paper scanned or otherwise. once again just my opinion. You will not achieve the best quality for vision 2 by hand processing, to achieve uniform development it needs to be done by machine, again just my opinion. regards.
