Steve, there's a ton of latitude but it's all on the overexposure side. If you're careful with exposure ISO 400 will look fine. To be safe you can overexpose a touch. I always shoot it at ISO 250 or 320. Same with C41 color films. Underexposure by more than half stop or so gives muddy shadows and grain. But a 3-stop overexposure can yield a good print. As for your original question, I wouldn't use ISO 400 c41 film at 800. I'd rather shoot on a color 800 film and convert to b/w. Even better, DSLR. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 http://pswango.smugmug.com/ pswango(at)att.net
