So far, I did not try the new Kodak films. The Fuji films are extremely
sharp, but the grain is not as nice as the old 160NC. However, 160NC is
not as sharp as 160S.

From the datasheets is looks like the new 160NC is less sharp than the old
one.

Sometimes grain of the Fuji films gets a bit too ugly. I guess I have to
try a roll of 160NC some time.

(I judge film by how it scans on an LS-4000)
