    I have never shot color film faster than ISO 400. 400 speed color film is already too grainy for my taste. In B&W the situation is a litte better. I have pushed Tri-X 400 by two stops to get an effective 1600. It was grainy, but it worked well enough for some newspaper work.

    Choices are limited. Here's what B&H stocks.

    Ilford are excellent if you're into black/white!

    I got some very good results with the Delta 3200.
