Hi,
i have tried both and settled for the Kodak. This is mostly based on the
scanning results I get from my "lab". When we still had a dedicated lab for
developing and scanning here in Cambridge the XP2 won out. Now that I
develop and scan at my local CVS I do favor the Kodak as the results are
more contrasty.
Just try.
Ciao
Joerg
