With proper exposure, Superia 400 is one of the finest grained color neg films available at any ISO/ASA speed. It's my regular all-arounder, and my only reason for using anything slower is for contrast control. The 800 version is almost as fine grained. Try rating Superia @ 320 before shopping elsewhere.
