Can ISO 800 Print Films Do Everything?
Article Abstract:
The development of Kodak Gold Max 800 and Fuji Superia X-tra 800 ISO, 35mm color films offers amateur photographers excellent high-speed films with excellent color rendition, and equal grain and sharpness as that found with their manufacturers' ISO 400 films. Both 800-speed films, however, have limited quality in prints with underexposures of three stops. The Kodak Gold Max 800 has more vibrant colors with higher contrast than the Fuji Superia X-tra. The Kodak Ektapress PJ800 and Fuji NHG II professional films have more grain, but sharpness and contrast are better than found in the 800-speed amateur films. How the films were tested is described.
