I wrongly expose a LGPro 400 at iso 64 today. I went for a walk and decide to end the last frames of a kodachrome 64. Since the day was cloudy and toke a legacy pro 400 to experiment, but only a few moments ago I remember that i didn't change the lightmeter seting. :bang:
To help, I also decided to use my yellow filter, arrghhhh! And I did not got before since the light metter gived me f/8 or f/11 at 1/250 or 1/125, so normal for a iso 400 film, etc. Oh my giddy ant...
Any chance to save the film? I was thinking of developing in XTOL 1:1 when I end it!
 
2-1/2 stops over?

Should be OK, especially with a fine grain developer where the true ISO falls and you're less than 2 stops over.

Do you scan or wet print?

Cheers,

R.

The Kodak data sheet for Xtol has times for very overexposed films - including Neopan 400 shot down to Ei100. I accidentally shot a roll of Neopan 400 (same thing) at EI 50 last year and developed from the Kodak time and it worked fine; the tonality was a bit strange but the sharpness and detail were surprisingly well maintained. My guess is that your roll of film will be fine.
