Sure, although I was hoping it might be a little less than the pic shows. However, it's not particularly objectionable, and upon further viewing, It's starting to grow on me. Yes, the "film like look" is, I think, what I find so attractive. 800 ISO is quite nice, and I can see using that even when a lower ISO is easily possible, just for the effect. The "grain" pattern appears that it would convert nicely to B&W.
