ciaran_mcmenemy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 <p>hello!<br> Today I took some photos, but all I had available was 200 speed. It's cloudy as usual here in the UK (a whole week of rain? well that's something new), so I set the camera to 400. <br>How can I compensate for this in terms of development time? Assume that I'm using a press kit with a 'normal' time of 3:15. maybe I need to make it 3:30? just a guess. <br>Sure, negatives can be scanned well for varying degrees of exposure, but I'd like to have the negative itself as the 'proper' image. <em><br /></em><br>Thanks for your time.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The kit directions may have pushing guidelines. Some color negative films respond better than others for push processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen_h Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 <p>Kodak has times for Porta 800 pushed one and two stops:</p> <p>http://wwwde.kodak.com/global/plugins/acrobat/en/service/chemicals/cis211.pdf</p> <p>They are 3:45 and 4:15, respectively.</p> <p>Normally there are also times for successive rolls in the same chemistry, but this one seems to say not to reuse the developer. I wouldn't save the developer, but only reuse it in the same session. <br> I believe that there are Kodak documents that give the times for additional rolls.</p> -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie_robertson2 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 <p>I would go for 3:45.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
