RE: [APML] Kodak E 200 - pushing?



Tony,
 
You know you lose many of us when you use those highbrow state-of-the-art technical terms like "smidgeon bits" <g>.

Phil,
 
    Pushed one stop it does great... helps open up the shadow areas and actually purges some of the blue that might show up in the deep shadows from underexposure... but more importantly, it helps get your Dmax away from a jet black... remember with slide film a deep black = no data... it also makes it very difficult to get the noise out of your scanned image if you have a deep black and you try to get what smidgeon bits of data is lurking at the edge of darkness... better to have a dark grey for a black.
