Subject: High-speed color print film question
I'm going to be shooting a high school play in a few days. The lighting isn't great, and since I'll be using the 80-320 zoom on my PZ-1p a fair amount I'd like to keep the shutter speed respectable.
Would I be better off (1) using 800-speed film and underexposing it by a stop; (2) using 800-speed film and asking the lab to push it; or (3) using 1600 speed film?
Has anyone actually kept track of how often I have posted that push processing C-41 film is a fools game?
I'ts gotta be a couple of dozen times now.
Anyway, if you think you need 1600 iso, shoot 1600 iso.
If you underexpose 800 by a stop, no matter what you do to the film, you will still have 1 stop underexposed negatives.
