from Ted''s Camera Store, Summary:
This film is marginally grainier than Fuji Superia 400, if looking closely at a 4x6" print. I have only shot one roll of this so far, and at ASA640, just to ensure that the film is not underexposed. Since I''ve mostly shot with 100, 200 and 400 Superia, I don''t really know if 800 films like this are expected to be that much noticeably grainier. Also seemed less contrasty to Superia 400. Personally, I am a little disappointed, but perhaps I''ll keep shooting more, and reserve my judgment once I''ve finished the brick (20 rolls) that I bought. Perhaps the person working at my photo lab was having a bad day on that one test roll. Hehehe. Strengths:
Great for outdoors when the sky turns overcast. This faster film gives me more flexibility when handholding, since the shutter speeds are higher over 400 speed film, so this may become my regular all purpose film. Weaknesses:
Skin tones aren''t so flattering with this film. Perhaps I need subjects with better complexion! :) Seriously though, I don''t think this is the right film for portraiture shots since there is quite a bit of graininess. That''s probably where the finer grained Fuji NPZ 800 will outperform this film. In all fairness, comparing the grain to Kodak Portra 160NC, I think this film is quite good value.
