Re: [APML] E200 pushing in Schmidt

[Rick Thurmond <thurmond@pvtnetworks.net>]

I've normally pushed my E200 one stop on two hour exposures, but last 
night I shot M16 for three hours at f/7 and didn't push it.  I like the 
results.  Color and grain seem better than when I pushed.  I'm 300 
yards from NM Skies, so that's about as dark as it gets.  Sky 
background on the film is pretty much zero.  I make darkroom prints, so 
the lack of background is a good thing.
