hey all. Strange, I've never in my life pushed film, so I've never had the need to find out. Anyways, i don't feel like spending 2 minutes searching google for an answer, instead forcing the knowhow of the group to come to me with explicit answers. Why push film? Why not just buy 400 instead of pushing 200 to 400? What happens when you push film in its varying degrees? how do you develop pushed film? Can you "pull" film (meaning shoot a roll of 400 as if it were iso100)? , and if so, why, what happens, and how to develop? How far can you push the "Average" film? I know mitch shot something like 100 as if it were 3200, and that sounds like a little much... Main reason I ask is beacuse it matters for the mo'. I shot a role of Fuji Superia 200 as if it were 400, because I wanted to shoot a dark metro station and i felt like pushing the film to see what happens... and also because im going to bed and it would be cool to find an answer when i wake up instead of having to look through a google search that would return nothing but porno...
