It does have great latitude, I tried pushing it to 1600 a few times but when it's processed for the push it looks virtually identical so, why bother. But the skin tones are what really make it, there's literally nothing out there that makes humans, of all colors, look so gorgeous. Even well-manipulated digital can't quite match its look…there's a reason it's not just 35mm, but available in sheets from 4x5 up to the full 8x10. I can't even begin to imagine what an 8x10 contact print would look like.

ETA, TIL you can't contact print a color negative since you need to filter out the orange background…large format color negatives are meant to be scanned. That said an 8x10 sheet on a drum scanner would be around 400-600 megapixel effective resolution.
