Big thanks to Lincoln (whose original posting reminded me to ask the
question to which he's now replying) and to everyone who responded about
this film.  As expected, it sounds like the gentleman's claim of no
increase in grain was exaggerated, at best.  For light-limited shots, it
certainly sounds worth a try, at least.  I'll post my own impressions
after I've had a situation where its use is appropriate.  I now know at
least not to expect miracles. :-)

Thanks again to all!  This is a very fine list.
