And, of course, with B&W film, there's a lot more control on the processing end, so one can "over expose" the film, or expose for the shadows, and develop for the highlights, so that there are no blown highlights. So, for a Q&D example, you can rate TX @ 200, cut back the standard processing time

Your example is extreme, but most films seem to be slightly overrated in regard to ISO. I always shot Portra 400 at 320 and Portra 160 at 100. I shot Delta 3200 at 1600. I shot TMax 400 at 200 then processed it gently in a d-76 1:1 soup. It's all in determining what works for you with the p

It moves the exposure up, or down, the sensitivity curve. Giving more weight to the shadows, or highlights. Simple as that. It takes a bit of experience to know when to do which. Most wedding pros shot color negative about 2/3 stop slow (100 v 160) because most of the labs were calibrated to ma

Can someone please explain to me the reason that people load 50 iso film and shoot it with the camera set at 12 iso (numbers just for example). What are the benefits of doing this? It doesn't change the speed of the film...just the speed the camera's meter thinks the film is. I assume it i
