Opps, I bought 800 ISO film

I usually shoot 400 ISO at 320, what should I expect if I shoot 800 ISO at 320? BTW this is color film.

So, do you mean you already did? It is obviously going to be overexposed by more than 1 stop Color film has latitude, but you aren't going to get the best results that way. Still, most color film likes overexposure more than underexposure.

However, since it does have some latitude, some may come in and be able to show acceptable results.

Hmmmm, should I shot the 800 ISO film at 400 or even higher in daylight conditions?

Is it Pro800Z? That was my favorite C41 film, hands down.

Can't remember what Pro800Z is. please elaborate. I accidentally bought 4 rolls of Fufi Superia 800. Meant to get 400.

I love 800 iso film. I often use Portra 800. Here are some results from last week. I would also agree that you should shoot it at 800 and expose for the shadows.

Nice shots angeloks. I have use some of the Portra 800 and liked it as well.

It's the old Fuji 800...not sure if Superia 800 is the same stuff.

If it is a C41 film. then the real speed is 400 ISO at most. Just process it normally, it will be fine.

It's a good film, and so is Superia 1600. No issues when you have the lab make wet prints.

The hardest part about 800 ASA C-41 is scanning. If you can, exposing for shadows at 800 ASA or adding 1 stop will help that. You'll gain more contrast, too.

It's just a stop and a bit over, your skies might be a little white, but it'll be fine I reckon.
