The amount of grain really depends on how you expose it, and how you develop
it.  I shoot it at 200/400 and 800.  Of course, the grain increases with
EI...but at 200, it's quite nice, and even at 400 with careful development,
grain can be reduced significantly.  I develop using D-76 1:1, and really
like the results.

Austin
