T400CN has a shorter toe (more contrasty) and evidences a bit more grain, particularly on overexposure. It will block up the highs when overexposed by 1 stop, but will hold detail in the midrange better when underexposed. Exposed on its nominal EI 400 or up to 1 stop under, it returns extremely high quality results. >> I find just the opposite. T400CN produces the best results when exposed at EI 320, which tightens the grain and expands the tonal range exactly like with any color negative emulsion, which it what it is.
