How true.

Modern color negative is usually good from +4 to -2. Not bad, eh? Under -2 
and you're in a problem area.

Accordingly, some consumer films (and others I'd assume) like the Kodak Max 
Versatility are more light sensitive than rated. The ISO 800 Max is actually 
a ISO 1000, so it has a built in buffer against slight underexposure for 
"point and shooters" and the like.
