Ah, interesting! I didn't know that about old-skool film stocks and dynamic colour ability -- I honestly just take the technical stuff as written, that not being my area of knowledge at all. Thank you for the further info.

My personal experience with film has all, of course, been very modern (stuff like getting professional group photos taken with light-skinned high school friends where they come out poreless and lovely and I'm a strange dark blob). And I'm not even that dark-skinned!
