Do you not have an ISO 400 film?

Do you not have an ISO 400 film?

hehehe. of course i do. i just wanna know the limitations of this film. thanks.

If it was me, and I was shooting something that could be important, I wouldn't do it. I've done some interesting experiments through the years, but I've never done it when the shots really mattered.

thanks stephanie. 🙂

Needless to say, though, you've got me interested. I've got a large quantity of the stuff coming, expired but most likely still good, and I'll try it.

I've not ever had luck pushing Delta 100- nothing in the shadows.

Hasn't stopped me before from doing something I know I shouldn't.

I have 15 rolls of the stuff coming, plus another partial 100ft roll. Let's just say that I'll be experimenting a fair bit with the stuff.

I will happily join in this experimentation, several rolls to be bought next week, and also further experiments with Neopan 1600 and Delta 3200 - what all I can do wrong and what all I forget when done right 🙂 Best wishes, Wamjam

dont worry about it, I have done it many times, in fact that is how I shoot delta 100 then develop it in LC29 at 1:28 at iso 800 speed, here is a sample of what I got from it: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27580646/?qo=122&q=by:avotius&qh=sort:time+-in:scraps

Wonderful results, great captures, I will certainly follow the provided link. To be honest, I haven't purchased the 100 yet, but I intend to. Unfortunately, I don't develop my own film, though I learned how to many years ago. I need to start again, and maybe then I'll get as fine b&w tones as your pictures.
