MS 100/1000, if processed with no push or pull, is a 100 ISO film.  I've 
found it quite acceptable up to 800.  It'll do 1000 if you need it to, 
but it isn't great.

Rob B: You're lucky that your lab wasn't charging you for push 
processing on MS 100/1000.  'Round here, everyone charges.

We stopped stocking it when Provia 400F came out -- Provia 400F is a bit 
cheaper and is definitely better at 800.  Plus, 400 to 800 is only a one 
stop push, and we run one stop pushes a lot more frequently than three 
stop pushes, so as a lab we find Provia 400F more convenient.

Still, MS 100/1000 was a nice, versatile film.

Personally, I'm more broken up about the loss of Astia.  I shot my last 
ten rolls of Astia 120 in North Carolina over Christmas.  I'll certainly 
miss that film.
