This reminds me.

I tried out a new fotophinisher recently.  (Overall, the results were
good; but they scratched one half of a stereo pair; unfortunately it was
one of the better pairs in the roll.  Doesn't it figure.)

Anyway, the guy noticed that I had taken hockey pictures and asked if I
would be taking more.  I replied that I might.  He disappeared into a
back room for a few seconds, and then emerged with a brick of film,
which upon handing it to me was obvious it had come from a refrigerator.

It was a Fuji professional film.  I didn't catch the three-letter code,
but the box was labeled "100/1000".  It was a pro slide film.  The box
was clearly marked with processing instructions for any speed from 100
to 1000 ASA, in one-stop multiples (i.e. 100, 200, 400, 800) and 1000.
I asked about grain.  The man claimed that, regardless of speed, the
grain remained constant.  This sounded too good to be true, but I
haven't had the opportunity to try it out yet.

So, has anyone on the list used this film?  How is it?
