Brad, AFAIK, if you have a hand meter, and the MZ-S has a fully manual mode (i.e. shutter speed and aperture) then you can push that film to 12,800 or 25,000 or anywhere in between.
The meter of course would have to be able to go to those ASA/ISO values (or you can calculate them by extrapolation) but you don't necessarily need to limit yourself to the max asa that the camera can handle as long as you can override that. Kodak Tmax 3200 should be able to be pushed as far as 25,000 IIRC. Remember though that you're going to lose shadow detail as you go higher than the 3200. Cheers, Dave P.S. if I'm wrong in any of that stuff - I'm sure the list will correct me accordingly :) Original Message: ----------------- From: Brad Dobo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 07:08:11 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Pushing the limits of film and the camera settings Hey folks, I have a question. I get totally lost when it comes to EV, well, not the basic usage, but let me tell you what I want. I've got Kodak P3200 film here, now I can set the ISO to 6400 to have it push-processed. Is that as far as I can take it or can I push it further using the EV dial, and if I can, in what way and how would I know at say +-3 what ISO I'd be at? This is with the MZ-S btw. Weird and perhaps stupid question I know, but I'm interested in hearing comments. Brad ****************************************************** Brad W. Dobo, HBA (Eds.)
