Originally posted by womble No, it is actually about 1000 or 1200 ASA, not 3200 although it can be pushed to that I believe. K.

That´s interesting. How about the Tmax3200 then, here´s what Kodak states (does the minimum EI at 800 mean the same in this case?):
»KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX P3200 Film ⁄ P3200TMZ is a multi-speed continuous-tone panchromatic black-and-white negative film that combines high to ultra-high film speeds with finer grain than that of other fast black-and-white films. It is especially useful for very fast action; for dimly lighted scenes where you can’t use flash; for subjects that require good depth of field combined with fast shutter speeds; and for handholding telephoto lenses for fast action or in dim light. It is an excellent choice for indoor or nighttime sports events and available-light press photography, as well as law-enforcement and general surveillance applications that require exposure indexes of 3200 to 25,000.«
