   True, the 160NC has little tolerance to exposure. I remember that
   even the DX coding is for 1 EV exposure latitude, just like slide
   film.
   
   If exposed precisely at 160, it's very rich in tonalities. However,
   some prefer it at 100/125 for a bit more saturation. I tried it at
   125 ASA and found little gain in colour saturation, improved grain
   but it also lost some of its ability to compensate for the large
   contrasts.
