They do use Fuji 800 - for those situations where nothing else will do. But 
he specifically said that there was only one project he could think of when 
a photographer was using neg film, and it was because he/she had been 
working on the project before N.G. took over and they allowed him/her to do 
so for sake of consistency. Otherwise, they use chrome film whenever 
possible. But there is that 5 - 10 percent where neg. film is appropriate.
