The older versions of Gold Max were too contrasty and oversaturated, and underexposures turned black into a muddy brown. All that has changed with the newest formulation, which says something like "25 percent improved" on the box. It's more subtle, it's sharper, contrast has been moderated, and skin tones are truer than ever. I would use it for any occasion calling for 400-speed film. In fact, it's so "pro looking" it may lack the punch some of us want for overcast days.
