The correct (but less-than-entirely-helpful) answer is:  "Finding that out is 
what your first roll is for!"

The more-helpful answer is:  it seems comfortable at 320;  the previous 
version might have smelled more like 250.

I haven't shot much yet, but what I've seen looks quite nice.  Something about 
the contrast characteristics which feels more like "real" B&W film.
