Certainly. On bright days, at the beach, at high elevations ...
many times under many circumstances, especially if I wanted
limited DOF.

Whoa, there, Big Fella <g>. Even ISO 25 film may sometimes
require 1/2000 sec.

Various B&W films, never color.

Well, the slowest rated films have been Tech Pan, Agfa APX 25,
Panatomic-X. However, I sometimes shoot APX 25 at an EI of 12,
and once, I think, as low as 6.
Similarly, I've shot Pan-X at about half its rated speed more
than a few times.
