I recently used some, shot at 800ASA (Push 3 stops developing).  It was
quite grainy at that rate, with weak blacks - as would be expected of any
higher speed film.

My experience with high speed films is very limited so I don't know yet how
it compares to other films (say, Kodak 400 pushed 1 stop).  There may be
some truth to what he says about grain being constant across the range: it
is surely a more grainy film at 100ASA than Fuji Sensia (100ASA).  But I
would expect the grain to be less apparent the less one pushes the film.

Faraday was asked first by Queen Victoria of what use electricity was, and
replied that the question might similarly be asked of an infant; someday,
it would become an adult and then the answer would be known.
