Unquestionably you do - but at a price of course.
I have used it both under exposed and (especially) under dev'd for
particular effects. The negs are very thin for this film and virtually
grainless. They do take careful control in the printing as they are such low
contrast but can yield unusual and lovely results for predominantly high
tone subjects
