choice but to expose long enough. If the exposure isn't long enough, pushing
will not bring out the faint stuff.

I completely agree that pushed E200 is easier to scan, especially if you
have a low end scanner like my first-generation HP Photosmart.  I shoot my
widefield piggyback stuff 25 to 30 minutes at F/2.8 (from TSP-like skies)
and push two f/stops.  The Photosmart can handle the results with no
difficulty.
