In my experience, if 800 NC is overexposed by about a stop (this is
entirely dependent on meter calibration of course) and correctly
developed, grain is not a problem for an 11x14 print. Of course 160
NC will be fine but you have to be two stops more careful with DOF
and/or camera vibration.
Do you plan to use a tripod? Always a quandry for me as I know I get
better pix from a technical perspective, but freedom of movement is
restricted. My compromise is a chest or belt pod. But that wasn't
the point of your question . . . ;o)
