Quite right in theory, but in practice I have found no problem with any
film I have tried. I have even achieved surprisingly good corrected scans
from KR64. Superia400 has plenty of tolerance.
If I stick a (say) 30M on the front to shoot in, say, a strip-lit office,
it causes more problems than it solves (v/f too dim to focus, forced to use
a silly slow shutter speed and/or wide aperture with no DOF). I was very
glad to be able to escape all that.
