    Strength:

    Natural color balance. Normal saturation. Very sharp. Good exposure latatude - at ISO 50. Easy to print.

    Weakness:

    A little grainy in sky shots - but acceptable.

    I do full-time pro nature work. I''ve been looking for something to compete with Velvia and Provia. I found it!!! I do my own E6 and this film is a processors dream. Easy to push/pull with predictable results. Wonderfull balance with perfect grey-scale. Not over-saturated, and pleasing contrast. Reminds me of Kodachrome 25. I get tack sharp 16x20''s from my 120 format. Great match to Ilfochrome printing.

    Strength:

    Very nice saturated colors, but not as outrageous as Velvia. Equally well performes both with macro shots of butterflies and skin tones. Incredibly sharp! Seems to perform the best if rated at 64 ISO.

    Weakness:

    grain could be finer for a 50-speed film

    This is an awesome film! I wish I could say more, but it is not necessary. Just try it!

    I recently used this in Singapore , when engaged in ship photography. Got lovely results. Needs careful processing for best results. Colours are very subdued compared to Fuji films.

    Strength:

    Neutral and natural colour balance.
    Nice and rich tonality.
    Very good sharpness.

    Weakness:

    Not as fine grained as the competition (Fuji, Kodak).

    A great all-rounder with natural colour rendition and high sharpness. Especially good for scenics, portraits and macro photography.
    For more vivid colours, I shoot it at ISO 100.

    Strength:

    Neutral color palette, similar to Kodachrome 25/64
    Good exposure latitude for slide film

    Weakness:

    GRAINY, weak color saturation at rated ISO, most ISO 100 films have better grain than this film

    For the performance, somewhat overpriced. If neutral is your thing then this isn't bad for an E6 film.

    Model Reviewed: Agfachrome RSX II 50 ASA

    Strength:

    natural colors, pure whites

    Weakness:

    grain and sharpness are not as good as Sensia II 100, despite RSX II 50 being 50 ASA

    I can't tell RSX II 50 and Precisa 100 apart. Save your money and get Precisa 100 instead
