If you prefer color negative film, I find the new Kodak Portra 400UC to
be amazing--perhaps the closest approach I've seen to slides in a color
negative film.  Note the UC designation--the other Portras don't have
this quality (although they are nice films).  Like all the Portras,
Portra 400UC scans like a dream ... in fact, it seems to scan the best
of all the Portras.  Virtually no adjustment required.  Handles
artificial light well, very high resolution and grain, too.
