Pushing APS film ?
I just picked a Nikon Pronea 6i and some Kodak b&w aps film to play around
with. The film is 400 iso but I want to uprate it to 800, the camera allows me to set iso manually. My question relates to the film and the lab, I know the 35mm version of this chromogenic film pushes, will the APS ? and also when the lab receives the film do I need to tell them it's pushed 1 stop ? |

Pushing APS film ?
Kodak Advantix B&W film is fairly flexible with no modification to
processing. I've had reasonable results shooting at speeds from 250 to 800, and even went to 1000 for an experiment. It's a little different from the T400CN and B&W Select emulsions in 35mm, but close. Of course, you'll need to do some work in scanning, image processing and printing to get the right output contrasts .. I scan and print via Photoshop and inkjet printers exclusively. Photofinishers are more rigid in their capabilities. If you really need the speed, C41 +1 and +2EV push processing are available at custom labs. Quality suffers a bit, of course, but you might like the results, depends upon what you're after. Overall, I like shooting this film at the nominal Kodak speed rating the most. It has the most neutral tonalities and finest grain structure that way. Godfrey In article , Joseph Kewfi wrote: I just picked a Nikon Pronea 6i and some Kodak b&w aps film to play around with.
