The problem with film reviews is that they get stale over time as things change and don't get updated.

Some thoughts on taking film through the airports

With slide film, you don't need to worry about automatic machine corrections like you do with print films, so that's easy to understand. Both films have about as reasonable figures for long-exposure reciprocity as you'll find in a manufacturer datasheet.
But, tungsten color balance? Why do most night photographers shoot using tungsten color balanced film, or the tungsten setting on their digital SLRs?

Nicolai Grossman and I got into a debate lately about his weblog entry asking why we film-based photographers still shoot slide film.
