I recently ran an 800 colour print film (PJ800; it was on sale) at 3200. It gives
a super-grainy, soft washed-out appearance which looks positively terrible.
Lends a nice atmosphere to the right photos though. On the down side, the
lab didn't print some of the shots due to the underexposure :)
I'll put up a couple of scans if anyone's interested.
Pushing Delta 3200 to 12,800 was fun, too. But I was shooting mountain
bikers under floodlights that night. No flash, of course :)
Cheers,
