I think he meant you push it one stop (or f-stop on your lens) – you have to 
use a different developer to retain the grain. You can either under-expose by 
setting your metre on a different rating, or simply open your lens by one-stop 
every time you metre a situation (inset it f4 if you metre f5.6). The whole 
length to be processed has to be treated the same (100' , 400' or whatever).
Just tell the lab (if you don't do it yourself) that you've pushed it by one 
stop – they'll do a special run with the right developer (and time/temp).
No big deal, Lars – we're all guilty of ignorance, most of us use those moments 
in relationships with loved ones.

I wonder if anyone could clarify for me what exactly 'rating at 250' means in 
this context. Does this mean metering as if the film was 250ASA, and then doing 
all lab work the same, without pushing or pulling in anyway? Or does it mean 
something else?

begging forgiveness for my ignorance,

Good Morning- According to Kodak they no longer make anything over Vision 3 
500T asa rating and have not for some time now. Long gone are the days when 
Kodak would/could reformulate almost any of their stocks past or present for an 
extra fee.

http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Products/Production/index.htm

All of the stocks listed on the above link are available with the exception of 
Color Reversal 7285 which was removed from production in Dec/Jan.

Since the vision 3 emulsion is so forgiving they rated it down from 800 to 500, 
this info from the Hollywood Kodak Student rep. The film can easily be re rated 
at 800 or 1000 asa, however beyond that there will be a noticeable increase in 
grain, particularly in the shadow areas. This emulsion holds its highlights 
exceedingly well but by rating it 2 or more stops over you will degrade the 
shadow or underexposed areas. This may not be an issue for your project, and 
certainly you can alter the result with lab work as suggested above. Vision 3 
works especially well when rated down to 250, for a stop of overexposure, this 
technique provides superior results and is used exclusively on my 
Cinematography lab students projects. One light work prints come out nice with 
this technique.

I do miss the brief time period when Kodak made 800T. I shot a roll on a back 
porch with one 100W bare light bulb as illumination (existing light). Not only 
did highlights expose well but I got some subtle detail in the shadows (no 
change in contrast as with pushing).

No 800 speed color neg film has been made by Kodak for some time. And, as was 
pointed out, Fuji stopped manufacturing all motion picture film. I second 
Nicky's sentiment - rate Vision3 500T at 1000 or even 2000, and then have it 
pushed a stop or two. Or, shoot it at 500, and just have the print/transfer 
brightened. It has a huge latitude and can handle it.

Why don't you push the 500 a stop or two?

No - 500T is the fastest speed motion picture film made by Kodak at this time. 
Fuji has ceased production of motion picture film. Vision 3 500T is very 
forgiving it can easily be rated at 250 to give one stop of over exposure. What 
is your intent with a higher speed emulsion?
