Price Paid:  $5.00 from Local Store

Summary:
Can we say...crap! Horrible grain, colors and everything else. I think I only was able to get one "clean" shot out of the two rolls that I used one time. Simply, I will not use any high ISO Kodak film again. Fuji is MUCH MUCH better.

Strengths:
Absolutely none, except for my one picture that turned out somewhat exceptional. And and I know it wasn't because of how I exposed the picture.

Weaknesses:
Everything, don't use it. I stopped buying Kodak film after this. Wish I would have used Fuji from the beginning.

Summary:
I was curious about this film. It looked fast enough to take my baby pictures. I took two rolls of films at different day but when I got the pictures...they all looked blue!!!!!! And too grainy. So I came here to check what went wrong. Obviously, it was my fault nor the film developing machine. Worst experience with film ever. Can we advertise not to buy this film???

Strengths:
cheap price

Weaknesses:
other than price

Summary:
I shot one roll of this film and it was awful! Bad grain, flat color....all around bad. I also run a photo lab and it seems a majority of rolls of this film I've developed have had the same problems. As much as I'd like to find something nice to say about this stuff, I just can't!

Strengths:
Makes a great gift for the photographer you despise!

Weaknesses:
Inferior all the way around. Pricing is higher than regular Kodak Max

Summary:
I thought I had made a huge mistake when making the photo's. It all looks underexposed, bad colours, weak blacks, terrible grain. After reading some reviews here I realise I made a mistake purchasing this film.

Strengths:
Well, maybe useful for some project where you need photo's that look absolutely crappy.

Weaknesses:
Looks crappy: colours, grain, unsharp, flare, and lots of it all.

Summary:
I find this film to be quite good, but not exceptional. For photographing vacations, trips, etc, this is a competant film. At ISO 800, it is sufficient for most conditions. If I want more speed, I will use 1600 or 3200-speed
