Note that I was talking about snapshots. I make no claims that this is
a pro film. It is quite forgiving, though.
I believe there is less grain with this film than you would get by push
processing a 400-speed film. I've had good color with most situations,
although it can get a bit muddy and grainy if you try to pull too much
out of a low-light situation.
I don't take serious photos in color, frankly, since I'll never be able
to afford a color darkroom. I haven't ordered a color enlargement in
years, and shoot most photos for memories and for the internet, where
pixellation is more of a problem than grain ever will be.
YMMV, so all I can do is suggest you try a test roll or two to see how
you like it.
