Actually, the new release of Max 400 is the Generation 7
version. As Kodak refuses to quantify grain/resolution in a
manner consistent with industry standards, it is difficult to
say by how much the new film is improved. A claim of 25% better
acutance/ finer grain would be in keeping with recent
improvements in their film technology. The new film does have
better colour fidelity, IMO, and finer grain, from the small
sample I have seen. There is much more to this film than a new
box, whether you care to actually check your facts or not
doesn't alter this.
