Steve, I would have all film that there was any question, pulled 1
stop. That should get everything either one stop under or 2/3 stop
over. Since you used negative film, everything should print OK. If you
have rolls which were properly exposed, process those rolls normally.
Have a professional lab develop the film. Ray Amos
