Film Q.

Remind me again .....

I just got a few rolls of Kodak Ektar 100.
Everything I read says to rate it at either 50 or 64 instead of 100.
That means I set my camera's ISO to 64. OK, so far.
Now when I have the film developed do I have the lab develop it
normally as if it was shot at ISO 100?
What is the difference between doing this and shooting at +2/3
Exposure Compensation?

EI 64 on 100 film is the same as shooting mid tones at +2/3 except you
don't have to remember you're intending to shoot at +2/3.

Typically, when you "short" index color negative film by a small amount
(up to a stop), you do not ask for a pull in processing. (Eg: develop
it as they normally would that particular film)

Frankly, just about every color negative film can be indexed a full stop
over (1/2 its ISO) with little danger of overexposure in most cases.
That's what my SO does with her negative film.
