Aaron... I'm not sure about NPZ, but I photographed a play recently with Fuji Superia Xtra 800 at 1600 and push-processed 1 stop. The proofs were done by a good printer and the results were awesome (that's not just my assessment). The color and contrast were good and the grain nearly invisible. Is there something about NPZ that won't handle the extra stop during development, or is this a comment about push-processing in general?
