Hello Joseph, Fujicolor Portrait NPZ 800 Professional http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/Products.jsp?nav=1&parent=PRODUCT _CATEGORY_238546&product=2300728
It rocks! It looks to have grain equal to a 200ASA, and has fantastic color! It blows away NHGII 800, which I was using. I`m waiting for a 400NPZ.
