I took the good old Minolta CLE out with the Canon 50/1.4 and bought a Kodack BW400CN. The dynamic range of this film is quite amazing. But amazing is also what sort of quality you get back from a normal lab. Even in my worst times I have never produced as dirty a film as I got back yesterday. If scanned with 4800 you can see the blobs (grain) very clearly so I went back to 3200 and this was quite reasonable.
