Funny you should denigrate ISO200 film like that Winsor; I have always
thought of ISO200 as nearly as good as ISO100 with the extra stop -
print film anyway. Surely transparency films are no worse?
As to the need for higher speeds (the general question posted
previously), I often need to use a higher ISO film. You who live with
more sunshine might have forgotten how dark it can be in less sunnier
climes. However, I am on a short break in Dorset (southwest of
England) and the sun has shone for about 70% of the time, making my 400
and 800 films almost redundant.
