As a fallback test, try Fuji CH which is their consumer film available at most grocery stores, drug stores, or even camera stores. Amazingly enough usually cheaper to buy 6 rolls of 24 than 2 of 24 or 36. This weeks PAW was shot on their Press 800 which was cheap in the twenty roll box. I don't find the grain goes up dramatically on over exposure, just when I underexpose. Chris had a good suggestion, try having the local chain do a high res scan for you. If they have a Frontier they can do a pretty good scan if you tell them to turn off the sharpening and image intelligence; if they don't understand a high res scan then tell them to scan as 8X12 and output to CD as from a digital file.
