Very interesting.  I use 200 Fuji print for sharp 9x6s and 400 Fuji if I
need a little more speed and it's nearly as good.
However 800 iso (it might have been Kodak actually) was grainy at 9x6.
Certainly one shot having an exposure error showed up the grain. If you are
making 30inch long prints yet  the grain is not an issue, how far back are
you viewing from?  Philip
