Uhh...I have 5 3200 ASA in the freezer. I bought them years ago,
thinking that at some point in time I would probably need them.
Thomas, you might want to consider using them sooner rather than
later. Such high-speed film is subject to increased fog from gamma
ray radiation, even in deep freeze. I speak from experience.
Yeah, you are probably right - and normally I would. However for what
I take pictures of normally, they are way too fast - and give
unacceptable grains. Maybe I should make myself a "Paris by night"
theme or something.....
There is a comet now visible in the evening skies which may be an
attractive subject for 3200 speed film. See
http://www.spaceweather.com/ for some details. Skywatchers may remember
comet Ikeya-Zhang which was visible in March last year - it was not
spectacular to the naked eye, but with some 3200 speed film, my 135/3.5
lens and approximately 5-10s exposures I got some very nice shots of it
clearly showing a nice long tail, so I definitely recommend comet
photography.
