Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I will try both.

I did shoot at asa 2000. I got some good negs, but a few were
underexposed, which had never happened to me. It's usually the reverse.
Next time, I will try 1200 or 1600.

My tests with Konica resulted in a higher ASA also. My best shots were
between 100 and 160 asa.

Ah, heck. Maybe I just ought to go and buy some good old Ilford HP4 Plus
and forget this madness!
