Lomography is selling a 3pack of ISO800 36frames for 15€ here.
Which is one Euro cheaper than Xtra800 per single roll. Since they also sell 200 & 400 I suspect it actually is just Fuji re-branded.
Has anyone used it yet? Is it the same as Xtra800?

I have to say I quite like Xtra1600 or Natura (with a bit of overexposure) my main choice for the night is Porta800 (but that one has almost gotten too pricey for me to shoot in 35mm, so I focus on MF work there)
(I'd love Xtra1600 in 120 .. never stop dreaming :D )

The manufacturer and specific product is not described, however do take a look -- "Made in the USA" and see how the plastic canister are Kodak's. The 120 I don't have and people say it specifies "made in China", could be just the finishing part of manufacturing.

There is a table in the web which specifies these films as Kodak VR line. 100 may be Gold 100 which Kodak themselves discontinued long ago, 400 could be Ultramax or an older generation. The case is that –recalling the Alaris-Lomo collaboration news– Lomography probably contracts Alaris to do runs of CN film, who make it in Kodak's Rochester plant.

I've shot a pack of 100 and have almost finished my first roll of 400, loaded in my F80. Still have to send them out and see the results. Consider that the 100 sits beside Ektar and there's no one else in that corner. The next line of cheap films are C200, Vista (Fuji rebranded) and Kodak Colorplus – they are a bit too retro at times. :D

So CN800 may well be Kodak "Max" film, sold by themselves only in single use cameras (?).
