It could be one of two things. Maybe 100F was all he had with him, or maybe he prefers the colouration/grain characteristics/contrast from pushing 100F. I have heard many people say they prefer Sensia 100 pushed one stop to Sensia 200, although in this case I think that is partly die to the fact that the emulsions get 'upgrades' released at different times. I would have thought 400F would have been better, but maybe he didnt have any.
