My biggest problem shooting in forests has nothing to do with spectural response of the film but with the extreme contrasts. Dark shaded areas with patches of bright sunlight bursting through - magic stuff.
I have begun to experiment with overexposed XP2 in my 6x12 back - the images from my trip to Weott were really good - even sold a panoramic last weekend at a local show. The other benefit of XP2 is has really good reciprocity characteristics - handy when you can get into multiple second exposures.
By the way - I will be heading up to Weott & the Matole Road for the second part of my field trip - love that area
