I probably shouldn't say this, but I have used Superia800 quite a lot
with the SS4000 and am amazed how insignificant grain is. At A4 from an
Epson, it's there, just, but you really only notice a relative lack
of tonal refinement compared to slower films.

Just what was available at the time. I daresay 6,000, 8,000, 12,000 ppi
CCD's will be along later and reduce remaining problems. 4,000 still has
occasional aliasing bad hair days with some fast films, specially
monochrome Delta3200, TMax3200. Whatever you get today, there'll be
something better tomorrow and you'll be left with a pile of worthless junk
(a fine collection in my shed:)

Inherited, as yours was. Someone's mailer mangled it - bound to be MS'
fault :)
