pushing slide film to 800

[meandihagee]

I need some help with this. I'm limited to f4 with slides for projection purposes. Any advice on how to push one of the fuji 400 slides?

What's the basic stuff I need to take care of? Should I shoot one stop less and then ask the lab to develop it at 800? Or should I expose as if I was shooting for a 800 film?

Please keep in mind that I want to get good exposures for projections, everything else comes second...

thanks

How are these two technically different>?

When shooting at a sensitivity that differs from that indicated on the package, you shoot and develop at this new ISO. So you should shoot as if you were using 800 and the lab would need to develop as if it were 800.

The two goals are not mutually achievable.

The general consensus is that Provia 400X pushes well to 1600 ISO. A one stop push to 800 should be fine. Shoot it like you're shooting an 800 ISO film, and request a one stop push from the lab.

+1.
I am doing it quite regularly, especially shooting Provia 400X@800 and let my professional lab do a one stop push.
Results are excellent with this film.
I always project my slides.

got it, thanks. I'll shoot a test roll and see how my local lab gets things done.

I have shot about 12 rolls of Provia 400X at IS0 1600 in the past year. It gets a bit grainy but I love it!

would love to see more of that dirty dozen 😀

Got around to trying some provia 400x at 800 for a concert (OOIOO). The raw scans were pretty orange, but some post knocked things into a reasonable range. Any more blue and I'd have lost my blacks.

nice shots from everyone, a tungsten filter probably would've helped with that shot of the guitarist in kobe.

Provia 400x @ 800 is fine. 1600 is still pretty good. Just ask your lab to push it one (or two if @ 1600) stops.

If DIY dev'ing try a test roll push, with extended first wash time (more than the usual 2 min), this'll help bring lower densities up a bit.
