I used Fuji NPH 400 and super G 800 for a wedding I did and the skin
tones and other subtle colours were rendered beautifully, especially
foliage and the bouquets. The 800 knocked my socks off! I had an
A4 print done of a shot I took with this film and the grain was
remarkably fine. I also used a roll of Reala for some of the
daylight shots and those turned out beautifully also.
The super G 800 gives you greater latitude with flash shots.
