I just received a roll of the Elite Chrome Extra Color in the mail from
Kodak along with the usual evaluation form to fill out and return, to try
out in my OM. (OOMC) In their letter they list the benefits as "Most
saturated 100 speed consumer film, More versatile than 50 speed
delivering greater depth of field, Very fine grain, and Ideal for nature,
scenery and underwater photography." They also specifically state, "When
you want natural skin tones, we recommend Elite Chrome 100 or 200."
