Where does this info come from?  Isn't ISO an international fixed
standard?  How can Kodak claim one ISO for a film if it tests at a
different ISO... isn't that forbidden by the International Standards
Organization?  When they *do* do that (eg. p3200 B&W), they put a "P" in
the speed so you know it's pushed to attain that speed.  Who says it's an
ISO 1000 film, and on what evidence?
