I started with this film when I first got into photography. I agree with GuitarWizard in that the color saturation is good and with the inhierent "coolness", make for great images of snow-capped peaks. This is a great slide film for the price and always try to keep 3-4 rolls of it in my camera bag.
I do, however, think that the cooler tones that this film provides can be a hinderence at times. In situations that call for warmer tones (i.e. Monument Valley, Devil's Tower), for a buck or two more per roll, I use Kodak Ektachrome E100VS because it's daylight-balanced and the color saturation is intensified to highlight even the most subtle changes in hues.
