Which ISO800 film

What's a good ISO 800 film? I need to get a roll or two for my brother who's coming from overseas next week.

Thanks :D

Try Kodak Porta 800 although you might have to buy it in Elizabeth Street at Teds

Fuji superia/press 800 is another option. I try not to underexpose and rate it at 640. For more natural palette, you could try Fuji NPZ 800 (now Fuji 800Z?)

Piro, go the Fuji Press 800. Excellent film and reproduction is true, grain for a 800 ISO is more than acceptable. Results will be good.
