If you'd quit using such ridiculously high speed film you wouldn't
need a faster shutter speed. Do you not give a rodent's derriere
about quality? Do you like grainy pictures? I doubt that I use a
speed faster than 1/500 more times a year than I have fingers.
Any 2 megapixel P&S will take better pictures than you can get
with 800 speed film. Slow down. You'll live longer and take
better pictures. Speed kills.

for me.

FujiPress 800 and Ilford Delta 3200 (at 1000 EI) in my OM4(ti). I
don't thnk that ISO 320 would cut it for me, even though the old
pros that shot Tri-X usually rated it somewhere between 200 - 320.

>It's top shutter is 1/640 sec, something which would cause a 35mm
film camera to be treated like a toy. Clearly, this is not a
medium format contender, so that shutter limit is a problem.
