Fujicolor Professional Press 800 - Any Advice

Has anybody got any experience of this film?

I would be grateful to hear about it before plunging in and buying a batch. It's out of date but I'm not sure by how much.

I'm still using Reala from 2003 or something and quite happy with it.

My photography is pretty quirky sometimes and I do not mind color shifts etc as I'm not a wedding photographer or such.

I have some experience with it and it's one of the best if not THE best ISO 800 color negative film. Noticeably better than Superia 800, which is not bad by any means. Very small grain for such a fast film. In fact I can't see much difference between it and the Superia 400. You can also overexpose it by 2 stops and it becomes a small grain ISO 200 film. Very good general purpose color film in my opinion. I haven't tried underexposing it though, but I guess ISO 1000 would still be fairly OK, if you don't mind a little grain. If it has been stored refridgerated and not more than two or three years out of date I doubt there'll be any color shift or other problems.

Thank you so much.

I'll go ahead and order a batch of 50 to 100 rolls or so for low light work such as early morning market day, and interiors.

The guy says it's been frozen since purchase.

I'll start off rating it at ISO 800.
