My reluctance to commit is I have seen some 400 press that is not 4 layer construction. Fuji has made some very attractive deals on 20 roll propacks, about $50 for the press 400 so if B&H is breaking up the packs they can sell rolls at $3 and make a very nice profit. My guess is that Fuji is keeping the cash flow coming to pay for their expenses upgrading their plant in South Carolina. I have shot a fair amount of the press 400 and find it very similar to the 800 which is very nice indeed. If you feel more comfortable shooting 400 instead of 800 then by all means use the press. It is a very nice general purpose color negative film. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
