I used a half dozen rolls of 100/1000 last weekend. Mostly with a 35/1.4
ASPH. I used it at 100, 200, & 800 (normal, P1 & P3) and in all cases, it
is performed as expected. You cannot tell the difference between 100 & 200.
Perhaps in a 16x20 it would be distinguishable. And at 200, it is equal to,
perhaps better than, E200. At 800, MS100/1000 is definitely better than
E200 at 800. Finer grain and more true colors.
