I guess maybe he's right. Now I've definitively learned something.
E-6 can be pushed. If you take an ISO 100 transparency film and push it two stops, some people prefer 320, others 400. It also varies by film. I guess the 320 would give better shadow detail, which is decreased in pushing because contrast increases. Joe - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
