Everyday Shooting & Uk Overcast Conditions — Superia X-TRA 400 (36 exp): Fujifilm's cooler, more neutral palette makes Superia X-TRA 400 a brilliant all-rounder — especially under the grey UK skies where Kodak's warm palette can look slightly muddy.
Landscape, Nature & Commercial Photography — Ektar 100 (36 exp) (2008): The finest grain colour negative film available — ultra-sharp, ultra-saturated, and breathtaking in good light.
