>I do not recognize the legitimacy of the term "push processing", because of the implication that goes along with the term that somehow we are getting a film speed increase.
William, I suppose I understand most of what you're saying. However, I've never been under the impression that "pushing" film in developing is a speed increase and honestly I doubt most folks believe this or misinterpret the idea that grossly. Of course, I don't work in a lab so I have no idea what the casual "john q" photographer believes about the process of developing but as I say I've never come across anyone familiar with "push" that thinks they are somehow getting more inherent "speed" from their film (somehow "magically" in the development stage). My question was more direct than theoretical. Perhaps I should have said, "what does this 800 speed film look like rated at 1600, developed normally or left in the soup a bit longer."
