I would think that if you are looking to maximize grain that you would want to shoot
considerably slower.  I knock the EI up to 1000 (metered TTF) when I am looking for
high contrast images, and down around 50-100 for a more "ethereal" look (reference
"House of Dreams I" or "Discovery" at http://www2.ari.net/glsmyth/north.htm).
