I love it.

Makes B&W conversion very easy depending on the look I'm going for.

The color ones I don't use as much, except for cross processing....





I also very much like the grain it produces, although I don't normally add grain to my images.

I love some of the B&W looks you can get with it, but I prefer to start with Convert to B&W Pro 3.0 then use Exposure to add grain and other adjustments. This was done with that combination...


Here's the color film selection "1970's Ektachrome Blue"


I also favor the color & curve from "Fuji Astia" setting, but I add some grain (warning, Lingerie shot)

Getting the feeling that I like it?

I had it and wasn't crazy about it. I prefer a group of film actions that I have over anything else. I guess I'm just used to what I've done in the past and have had good results with. I honestly didn't play with it that much but found it to be more of a process vs a single action click and get the results that I want. I prefer to do a lot with out actions as well. I'm may have to try it out again. I've heard great things about it.
