It is associated with classical grainy black and white images of the last century street photography and photojournalism but it can do a lot of stuff. I rate it at EI80 with a deep orange filter and use it wide open on the street during daytime. I have also pushed it to EI1600 with D76 stock and it looks absolutely lovely. Depending on development and proper exposure, you can get contrasty and grainy results or smooth and silky but it simply never looks bad.
