However, it handles a one stop push without any problem and I've had 30" X 40" prints made for a client at 3200! I've shot many rolls of it doing sports and some commercial work and never have had a problem with it. Ektapress is the only colour neg film I purchase. 100 -- 400 -- 1600 >I will be sending it out to a lab so I think the possiblity of pushing it >is nonexistent.
