Maximizing quality with color negatives
Has anyone done the following type of experiment?
Shoot 400 color negative rated at 200 vs. shooting 200 speed film at 200. Since overexposure decreases the grain in the shadows and since the 400 negative shadows will be further up the tonality curve they should have better shadow contrast as well. This has to be offset against the inherently larger grain and poorer color reproduction of the faster film. -- Robert D Feinman Landscapes, Cityscapes, Panoramas and Photoshop Tips http://robertdfeinman.com

Maximizing quality with color negatives
A lot of people shoot 400 CN at 320 and 250 for that very reason.

Maximizing quality with color negatives
I don't shoot print film too often but superia 400 shot at 320 will make
nice 11x14 enlargements. Smitty www.adroit-images.com "Robert Feinman" wrote in message ... Has anyone done the following type of experiment?
