Push Processing Characteristics
You can increase the effective speed (i.e., push) of E100 by
adjusting the first developer time. Increased film speed is
useful under dim lighting conditions, or when you need
high shutter speeds to stop action or small lens openings
for increased depth of field. You can also use a short push
to slightly increase contrast, sharpen highlights, or
compensate for underexposure. By understanding these
effects in advance, you can use pushing creatively and
reliably.
Exposure for Push Processing
Labs that provide push processing usually offer the service
for fixed time increases (i.e. push 1/2 or push 1) in the first
developer. It is a good idea to make a series of test
exposures and then work with your lab to determine
optimum exposure settings. A recommended starting
point is to underexpose by 1 stop (EI 200) for a push 1
process (8 minutes in the first developer).
