I just learned there are short end movie film supply with excellent price. 

It is particular helpful if you are looking for Kodak Vision 3 50D 35mm in small quantity, such as 100, 200, or 400ft, as it seems Kodak is short of supply. 

Kodak claims  Vision 3 50D is the world finest and sharpest film, ever. I guess that requires precise development.

Have you found a source?

Also imo 50D is overkill in terms of (lack of) grain. 250D is excellent, especially overexposed a bit, and and gives same or smaller grain than Portra 160 or Ektar 100 while giving you some speed advantage.

True, but all colour film does. It's no different than C-41 really, just different chemicals and temps.

Found it, will try it to determine if worth recommend to everyone.

In terms of grain and sharpness, the data shows, 50D > 200T > 250D > 500T. But 250D is very hard to get, and 50D is diminishing too. 

Color pallets might be similar, 

I ordered 200T and 50D, will determine which to stick with. If get hooked, I am going t order 1000ft 50D (still available) from B&H or order the short end from this source. It would be about US$4~5 per 36exp. the same source also offer QWD ECN2 in good price.

Keep tuned.
