Glenn's recommendations (below) are good. I've tried Supra 800 at
everything from 800 to 3200. It does go orange sometimes under interior
lights. And even at ISO 800 I don't like the grain. OTOH, many others
like the film. Testing by Bill Tuthill (reported on rec.photo.film+labs)
seems to indicate that Fuji NPZ shot at 1600 might be better than Fuji
1600.
