If you're looking to minimize grain, Fuji Press 800/Fuji Superia 800 or Fuji NPZ 800 are all excellent choices in negative film. The Press/Superia films are a higher contrast than NPZ, and depending on the lighting may be more desirable. If you need slides, I heartily recommend Fuji Provia 400F pushed either a stop to 800 or two stops to 1600, though if you can get away with 800 you'll have a better image. There is no other high-speed slide film out there that can compare with Provia 400F, IMO. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
