EI 100 will probably work out just fine, Jeffery. Slobodan has pointed
out on another list something we should all take to heart. The
latitude of modern films is such that this 1/2 stop, one stop here or
there really doesn't make a lot of difference.

I kind of pride myself on my technique, but I noted something
yesterday that put me in place. I had mistakenly taken a few frames of
Delta 100 as if it was Tri-X rated at 500/640. I discovered my mistake
and just finished off the roll normally and processed it normally,
expecting to lose the underexposed frames. I was just testing anyway,
so it didn't matter.

Not perfect, of course, but I think a lot of my success should simply
be credited the high quality of modern films.
