Just looked at the Fuji NPZ 800 that I have shot for comparison. Grain
looks better than Superia 800, color is a bit on the cool side (that

not bad.  I would say that either film is an improvement over Max. The
Fuji may be slightly faster.

I mostly shoot Kodak Portra NC films when doing people
(weddings/portraits) and would use the Portra 800 over the Max 800.
But you should probably also give the Fuji NPZ 800 a try.  I find that
the lab can have some impact on the film chosen.

Thanks Bruce. I'll give the NPZ 800 a try. I like neutral to warm, but what the heck.

I'm shooting 160NC for just about everything lately. Great for people (which it should be, right?:-), but also great for wildflowers and insects. This is the first print film I've found that gives me a realistic range of yellows. Now I just need to figure out how to get my scanner to do the same.
