I'm sure it will be fine and I doubt that I will be needing to give it any additional exposure as that has been a consistent trend with films for well over a decade. In the 70's and 80's we always had to give color neg an extra half stop or more but that stopped being necessary when Fuji I think forced Kodak to get real with their ASAs for color neg as they were doing it. It would be awkward to be shooting Delta 100 in the studio and then switch to a color 400 film so even if the grain is the same 160 is in the same area of F stops as 100. Ironic that when shooing both color and black and white your color is a faster speed. What if they lifted a pinky in their R&D in black and white? Mark Rabiner
