Price Paid:  $7.00 from Claremont Camera

Summary:
I am pretty darn impressed with this 1600 film. I should have started using it sooner. I've done mainly night football games under horrible lighting conditions with not so fast glass telephoto lenses and this film still got the shots. The grain to me is really fine for a 1600. I was using the Kodak Zoom 800, and the Press just outdid it in every spectrum. Yeah so the green layer thing that everyone complains about isn't the best, but I still got the shots. But I like it like that. That's why Photoshop was invented.

Strengths:
-Very fine grain for a 1600 -Works well for the conditions that I'm faced with. Color is acceptable enough for me

Weaknesses:
-I guess skintones could be a little better, but I'm not shooting portraits. -Pricey, but not too bad.

Price Paid:  $7.00 from adorama

Summary:
I've only shoot three rolls so far, but as another reviewer put it. What else is available in 1600? Well the answer is not much! Yes it's grainy, yes it's flat, yes the colour is far from perfect. Most of my photography are candids, and being able to use my 300mm F4 manual lens with existing light inside a church at night with just my monopod is a trick! While it is grainy I don't find it offensive, and the colour is definetly acceptable. Better than the Fuji 800 Press that I also use! Overall I like it, and intend to keep on using it until something better comes along.

Strengths:
ISO 1600! Acceptable grain, and reasonable colour balance until artificial light.

Weaknesses:
Colour could be better.

Price Paid:  $168.00 from Ted's Camera Store

Summary:
I would not recommend this film for taking portraiture shots as skin tones do not look good at all with this film. I have taken 8 rolls of 36 exposures so far from the brick of 20 that I've purchased and I have to say that I will not be buying this film ever again. I think the fastest print film that I will settle for is Fuji Press 800 which gives acceptable results for people shots when viewing 4x6" prints. I don't really know where this film would be useful, as I've tried shooting various kinds of pictures with this. In landscape, the sky goes whitish. With indoor photography, most cream walls appear white. I was hoping to use this film for indoor pictures without flash, but the tungsten nature of lights tend to give the photos a very orange hue, and since the subjects look very grainy anyway, I don't believe that this film is good for taking people pictures indoors. I get better results with slower film and flash. The grain makes a mockery of my good lenses; Canon 28-70mm f/2.8L USM and 70-200mm f/2.8L USM

Strengths:
Good colour saturation when correctly exposed.

Weaknesses:
Too grainy, even for 4x6" prints

Summary:
I use this film to take available light photos with a manual camera. Almost everything I shoot goes on the web; I rarely need prints. I''''ve had better results with the Press 1600 than with Superia. In color, what else is there in this speed range? I''''m glad it''''s available.

Price Paid:  $0.00 from brisbane

Summary:
This is a good film for low light shooting. If you know what you are doing its better than pushing press 800 (which starts to give you colour cross overs). Its not a 1600 speed film, for good results expose around 640 (I rate press 800 at 320). It is a flat film so a 1/3 push when exposed at 640 gives great results. But most of the time this film will be used in difficult situations, no film can cope with being rated at 3200 so don''t complain if you don''t get good results if you push this film too far. Definately the film to go for if you intend on shooting in really dark situations.

Strengths:
speed grain is not too bad

Weaknesses:
can be a little flat, but thats what you get with high speed films. Beggers can''t be choosers.
