Subject: Vs: push/pull colour neg film?


> 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 overexposure and slight overexposure usually gives better results.

Every C-41 machine I have used during my short career as a lab tech has had
the capability to shut the drive off with film in it, and has had long
enough racks to allow a 24 exposure roll to sit completely submerged in the
developer.
Of course, if you shoot 36 exposure rolls you are SOOL.
Push or pull processing is a function of development, and is a separate
entity from exposure, though generally, one only happens because of the
other.
