On Push Developing

[fr3derick]

Hey guys!

I've recently tried looking for high speed 127 film (so I can shoot it indoors) for my Baby Rollei but the highest I seem to find is ISO 100.. the efke one. It does say somewhere it can be push exposed to ISO 400 though, so I was wondering if it was smart to do that? Like take my meter readings at ISO 400 and shoot, then develop it by pushing two stops (two stops, right?)?

Would that work? Or does anybody know anybody willing to roll high speed film in 127 format?

Thanks!
Frederick

You might better like the results of shooting actual 400 (or whatever) speed film. I have heard (and can imagine) that it's not too difficult to re-roll your own if you have some 127 spools. Try it in the light with a sacrificial roll and see how easy/hard it is to do.

Here are some instructions I found (particular to the 127 Brownie for some reason, but should work for any 127 roll film camera):
