Performing lens tests of 300/2.8 lenses.  In order to get a shutter speed
of 1/250 when stopped down to f16, I ended up with 1/8000 shooting wide open.

I've also used faster shutter speeds deliberately when photographing
motorsports;  I've used 400 (and even 800) speed film to let me get
really short exposures.  In fact I've got a roll of Provia 400F just
to test at the next event.

Recently: Fuji 1600.  But I did once use 3200-speed B&W film.

Slowest: RG 25. And I've still got 20 or so rolls of it left.
