Richard, there was a discussion about this on another list.

First, what film are you using?  I'm having the same results with C41  
b&w films, and the recommendation was to shoot 400 film at 200-300.   
Another recommendation was to shoot at 320.

I plan to try that and see what I get.  I shoot a lot in tungsten  
lighting and have been unhappy, in general, with the results I've  
been getting.

Peace,

Ken
