Richard,
Love ya guy! ;-) And that's what the hell being a photojournalist, 
documentary, photographing civilization as it's happening is all about.

Numbers and all that techie stuff be damned! ;-)

What's more important?  The photograph with it's story telling content? Or 
whether it was shot at 320 because somebody screwed around fiddling for a 
new ASA 320 for ASA 400? Might be fine for the rock & ferners and 
non-breathing folks,

But like I've always said fer near on 57 years .... "Real Photographers 
shoot B&W. Sometimes Colour!"  Of course from the shadow side! ;-) And it 
can't get any better than that.

Go for it now I'm still vertical and breathing! ;-) But best you use ASA 
3200 or you'll miss! ;-)
