Provia 400X pushed to 800, 1600, 3200

It never occured to me to push slide film, only ever done that with b/w. Hhhhmmm... Must look into this further. Great photos

I got a load of Provia 400X fresh and Provia 400F (RHP III) expired 2005. I want to make some exposures in a hall that is dark. My question refers to two situations:
a. Which one of the films is better for push if the 400 F were fresh?
b. Which one is better to push in the actual situation, 400F being expired and the other fresh?

Fresh film would always push better. 2005 is granny age for 400 ISO color; don't push grannies!

Do you use any sort of colour correction filter?

I was given a small article about pushing slide film, specifically that if you wanted good whites, you needed to add 1/3 stop exposure for each stop of push. So if you're shooting Provia 400 at ASA 1600, push 2 and 2/3 stops during development.

Anyone else recall the same?

Just dug a box of 19 rolls in 120 up from the freezer. It was in my stock list and I thought that must be a mistake, but it wasn't 😀 😀 😛

Bringing 3 rolls (once thawed) on a five-day trip into Germany tomorrow, to feed the venerable Super Ikonta B.
