For this reason I'm rating it higher than the films below, but not by much. I was surprised by how well this film did. Just not as good as the films above. This film is let down by its graininess in comparison to the other films. Not quite as bad as Provia 400, it looses out by a nose.
Many labs charge extra for push processing.
Good pro labs know this. Make sure that yours does. I know that there are some great ISO 400 and 800 colour negative films. Fuji NHG emulsions are among the finest, but as I mentioned above I prefer working with transparency material for a number of reasons. Finally, please be aware that I was not looking to evaluate every possible variable.
