I am getting 400/200 speed results from NHG II 800. Expensive but worth it. For some reason I find 800 a boom for shooting Colorneg one reason is that much of my shooting is with a Rollei 35 with only guess zone focussing. That seems to be the magic extra F stop needed to always get what I need in focus and not otherwise camerashake blurry. Who would guess? It's a whole new ballgame with all these extra Tab grain layers. I assume that's it. Mark :-) Rabiner
