I am an old timer and I always assume that this high speed film yields grain the size of golf balls. Anticipating possible 16x20 enlargements make me go for fine grain film at much lower ASA. It appeared to be a trade off. I mainly used High speed for night shots. coupling large aperture lenses with high speed allowed exposures in the 125th to 250th range allan
