I just ran out of NPS at that time and use the NPH. I suspect it is the lab's compatibility with Fuji Film. I will try rating the NPH at asa 250 and see how it goes. One thing I realized, on the NPH rated at asa 320, shots using wide angle and outdoor are mostly underexposed, but the indoor shots are perfect. you may be right, something about the lighting is throwing me off.
