Hi,

Thanks to Bobby for refering to my site. In particular, this one
is by Centuria 800:
http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~wang/gallery/picutres/I2177-2004.htm
and these two are by Centuria 400:
http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~wang/gallery/picutres/cygnus_tail.htm
http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~wang/gallery/picutres/m16_to_24.htm

The last two show that Centuria 400 is not only sensitive to H-alpha
but also has quite good tri-color balance. Bobby is right that
Centuria 800 is grainy. Both Centuria 800 and 400 don't have the
fat-star problem that E200 has. (Indeed, Provia 400F also has this
problem.) Earlier I had posted a comparison for E200 and Centuria 800:
http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~wang/misc/E200vsC800.htm

I didn't hyper either of them. I'm not sure if Centuria 800 is really
faster than 400. (They may have different reciprocity failure.)

The Centuria 400 I used to use is actually called Centuria Super 400.
It's now replaced by Konica with Centuria Professional 400. The later
one has quite nice results on comets but its H-alpha sensitivity is
still unknown. I'm waiting for more test results from my Asian friends.

These Konica films (400, 800) all have 120 format, but only available
in east Asia. I'm thinking about improting some small amout to US for
people in this list.

Cheers,

Wei-Hao
