Then prove why I can get good photos shooting football in poorly lit stadiums by setting my camera's meter to 1600 using Ilford HP5+ and using the recommended develop time, and why I cannot get good photos setting the meter to the film's nominal rating of 400 then developing for that time? I believe that film is more complex than simply saying it is 400 and that is it, period. A film's ISO rating is based upon a pre-determined, albeit optimum, developing time. Why can you not change the film's rating via changing the developing time? Understanding that you are going beyond the optimum develop time. Nick - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
