joshtpa Posted May 27, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted May 27, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey All, I was hoping someone with more film experience could help me out, and in advance I would like to say thanks. Â I recently returned from Paris and was shooting primarily the new Portra 400 at box speed. I ran out of Portra and put in a roll of E100G slide film and left the ISO at 400. Because I typically overexpose Portra by 1 stop, I did the same thing with the E100G. Â Since the ISO was set to 400, and I shot the roll overexposed by about 1 stop, should I push process the film by 1 stop, or develop it as normal for a one stop underexposure? Â Anyone with experience with E100G who would like to offer their opinion I would greatly appreciate it! Â Regards, Josh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_d Posted May 27, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted May 27, 2011 Your post is confusing but if I understand you correctly, you exposed E100G at iso 200. If this is the case I would push process the film one stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qvsm Posted May 27, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted May 27, 2011 If you set ASA to 400 for E100G, you overexposed by 2 stops not 1. I'm not clear on how well Kodak slide film will cope with being pushed 2 stops, as the latitude is less than negative film, I'm sure someone else will help out. But if you develop for 100 ASA then you'll have a lot of overexposed frames. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think you are wrong, 400 instead of 100 would be 2 stops UNDERexposed, Â the response above is right, IMHO Â Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted May 27, 2011 Share #5  Posted May 27, 2011 Hi  If you are not going to project then I go for standard processing, if you have a high dmax scanner.  Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted May 27, 2011 Share #7 Â Posted May 27, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) It follows from what you say that you have underexposed your E100G by one stop. So push processing it by one stop would set things straight back to normal. That said, quite a few people intentionally underexpose slide film somewhat (usually not by a full stop though) for more saturated colors, so it is your call whether to go for standard processing or push processing. Ideally, you should probably push process by a half stop. Â Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_d Posted May 27, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted May 27, 2011 If the ISO dial on the camera is set to 400 and the exposure compensation to -1, then you exposed the film at ISO 200. This is 1 stop under for 100 ISO film so you would push process 1 stop. I believe this is what Josh means by shooting at box speed (400) and over exposing 1 stop (200). http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/e4024/e4024.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
