Subject: [Leica] Off topic (somewhat): Fuji 800

I've been doing B&W and slide work for so long that I need to
consult the LUG on a color neg film.

What do you recommend for a 400 speed color negative film
under the following contraints:

- - outdoor shoot in daylight
- - mostly people shots, photojournalist/documentary style
- - some enlargements might be to *at least* 16x20 inches
  but sharpness may not be a huge concern here, in light of
  the application.
- - close to neutral colors, but a *little* saturated or warm won't hurt.
  Should reproduce skin tones well, though.

Fuji used to make a great 800 speed film with very fine grain
for its speed (know what it was? Super G+ or Super HG+ or
something similar?) but I can't find it anymore and I'm worried
about the enlargement requirement.  What replaced that film
(pro version)?

Thanks for any help,
- --Andrew
