Granted, you're losing some shadow detail at EI 3200 or faster, but since I usually reserve this film for "available darkness" situations, the loss of shadow detail doesn't bother me too much---it still has good contrast and a tonality I like in the highlights and mid-tones. Night shots I took of cops on the street during WTO, decked out in their Darth Vader riot gear, came out really well.
