Like T400CN, BW400CN has a huge latitude. Kodak states ASA 50 thru 800 can be used with confidence with normal processing. Of course, what you take your light meter reading of (its reflectance) will make the biggest difference in your results regardless of the ASA you use. Even though it is called "400", most folks find it marvelous at 200. As you probably do. I have used it at both ends, 50 to 800, and have not been disappointed.
