Oops! accidental ISO mis-setting

[akptc]

Seems I am learning the hard way how to use my cameras. I shot 4 rolls of July 4th festivities at the wrong ISO before realizing my mistake. I’ve never pulled or pushed film before and am wondering (very hopefully) if these rolls can still be salvaged despite being overexposed?

Neopan 1600 b&w film
Fuji Superia X-Tra 400 color film
Kodak Portra 160NC color film
Kodak Portra 400NC color film

Would greatly appreciate any advice.

(Edit: I shot those roll at 100 ISO)

What DID you shoot them at?

[SIZE=-1] Dugh! I shot them all at 100 ISO.

no idea about the neopan.

All the other should be pretty much fine with compensated development. In general, C-41 films are much more tolerant of overexposure, than they are of under.

For that matter, the 160NC might be fine processed normally. It's a pretty forgiving film.

I exposed a roll of the 160NC at 80 on purpose. It's ok and Lightroom can bring the exposure down a little. I exposed a roll of Ultra 400UC last year at 100-200-400 on purpose. Everything was useable. Standard mini-lab C-41 processing for all. I expect the same from Superia. The B&W Alchemists will be along to help with the Neopan 1600.

I'm not a fan of electonic do-dads, but I do like auto iso reading of film canisters. I don't push or pull film that much, so I'd rather have the default iso set and go from there.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that have shot film at the wrong iso, and those that will.

Hi,Andy.

The massive dev chart gives times for using Ei320 with Microdol x of 5 mins diluted 1:1. This could provide a useful starting point as at this Ei, you may get some printable negs?? Another approach may be stand developing in Rodinal 1:100 or 1:200.

Regards, John.

Thank you - that is great news! I am going to have the pros at Photomark (a Phoenix, AZ lab) take a stab at it but at least I can stop biting my nails now 🙂

Btw, I too depend on DX coding when available - one less thing to remember - but I guess I have no excuse for forgetting to check if my Contax G2's auto-iso was actually turned on...

Thanks again!
