Vs: push/pull colour neg film?

2003-12-16 Thread Raimo Korhonen
Actually this is not pushing or pulling - pushing is done with underexposure + increased development time, pulling by overexposure + decreased development - but with with current machinery this is not feasible for colour negative films. Colour negative films have incredible latitude towards over
