How about:
“Nicely framed,” ––––– said. “But a little soft, I think. I wonder why he didn’t stop down and shoot a bit faster.” She leaned in and examined the picture closely. “Tricky light. Maybe he could have bumped up the ASA. Although he might have been concerned about noise. As it is, it’s pretty clean.”
"I wonder why he didn't stop down or shoot with a faster lens." (you don't really 'shoot fast')
Also, you wouldn't have just "bumped ASA" with film. He could have "switched to a faster film" (some people did switch mid-roll but it was time consuming) or "changed backs with the faster film." (assuming he had a camera with a changeable back, so this would only work if he were shooting with a camera that did. At that time, I think it was only medium-formats, maybe some of the Nikon 35mm bodies.)
And film has grain, not noise.
