If I am somewhere with Delta 100 in the camera, and the situation calls for a higher EI than 80, I change film to Delta 400 or Delta 3200 as required. I am not that advanced in the art of developing, and have never been able to get satisfactory negatives out of the underexposure/overdevelopment combination. For that reason, I avoid pushing film. Between the speed of D3200 (which for me is 1200-1600) and my Noctilux, I rarely if ever have a need for pushing.

Is that true? If so, WHY?
