I bought my R8 and the previous owner had 40 rolls of it that she threw in. Its good, but Kodak E200 pushed one stop is much better and fine grained. I would consider the E200 a more versitile film pushed even when pushed to EI 800. It performs better with a two stop push than the Provia 400 with a one stop push.
