Rob,

I venture to say that the lower the ISO/ASA that you can make it, the better will be the picture quality.

Back in the "good old" days I was a happy chappy when Fuji came out with Velvia 50 which we quickly learned to shoot at 40 (but get developed at 50) and which knocked the previous preferences, Kodachrome 25 and 64, into the proverbial cocked hat pretty well instantly. It was the advent of Fuji dominating the colour scene, which they understand superbly well but which they have recently spoilt with their latest P&S cameras going the way of the marketing people and megapixel rubbish.

Incidentally Fuji have recently re-introduced Velvia 50 film, no less, which was discontinued years ago in its original format for production reasons. Looks like there are still a fair few film photographers around.
