If you haven't used the Fuji Press (400 & 800) film, I strongly suggest
trying it.  It allows me to shoot high speed (which to me means not in
sunlight) color with no yellow cast, which is something that has always been
an issue for me with high speed color films, hence previously always
shooting B&W at > 400ASA.

Regards,

Austin
