Is Anyone Happily Using ISO 25,600 for Anything?

[Morris Galloway]

Galloway, delurking for a moment, can remember  back in time, back, 
back, when Kodak Royal X Pan was the only game in town for  FAST film, 
listed as 1,600 ASA, and it was pushable --
sort of pushable.  And the results obtained were not as Good as 25,600.  
During College, went out on assignment for a print magazine to a den on 
iniquity, a GO-G0 bar (!) that was
all soft green spot lights and drunk college kids, and shot a roll. I 
got some shots.  The patrons and maidens were visible and clear. But 
there was so much grain the advertiser thought it was taken inside a 
cereal factory.  Publisher had to sue for the quarter-page.  Alas!
   Wish I had a K-5, or 5ii,  or K-3 then!   We've come a Long Way 
Baby!  Sure I use 25,600 , and I  turn and walk back inside with my 
possum pic, or whatever, all the while considering that I could Never 
have captured anything in those dark corners even with the best Germany 
and Kodak had to offer at that time.

Relurking now,   G
