>Eric, what do you think of PJ800?

It's good stuff. It's color rendition (at least in our film processor) ends
up a bit blue. Correctable in Photoshop for sure. It's faster, sharper and
finer grain than Fuji 800. But it is different, and thus would lend itself
to comparison. It does handle mixed light pretty good. But that's an area
where Fuji is superb. Especially their 400 and 100 films. But the 800 is
good too. Contrary to some opinions, Leica lenses do very well with both
films. You don't need 100 speed film to see the benefit of Leica lenses.
Maybe in terms of sharpness, but that's not all that makes Leica special.
