I'd agree that the Kodak is grainy. I almost fell off my rocker when I saw
Max 800!! But the Pro 800 Fuji is hardly cheaper than almost anything. Price
shop for this film. It's $35 a propack some places in Chicago. I know B&H
seemed to have a good price on it a while back. If nothing else test out the
Fuji SG800 and the NPZ800... The NPZ will handle your lighting better as Don
said but the SG is far cheaper...
