Is extrapress available in 1600 or only 800 and has anyone used the 1600,
I will be sending it out to a lab so I think the possiblity of pushing it
is nonexistent.  Since I wont be pushing the extrapress ot say 6400, how
would it compare head to head with the fuji 800 (probably rated at 1200
or perhaps in 1600)

Been using my softrelease for about a week and love it... Thanks Tom... 
Can't wait to try it out at this dance when I will surely be shooting at
slow speeds.
