The thing is, if you develop for 400, the 125 shots will be very high in contrast. Actually, the 400 shots will be too, since that?s what push processing does (mostly increases density of midtowns and highlights, only slightly brings up shadow detail). If you develop for 125, the 125 shots will be good, the 400 shots almost 2 stops underexposed. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook On 8/16/17, 5:43 AM, "LUG on behalf of Dan Khong" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of dankhong at gmail.com> wrote: >I would develop for ISO 400. > >Sent from my iPhone > >> On 16 Aug 2017, at 5:21 PM, Peter Dzwig <pdzwig at summaventures.com> >>wrote: >> >> All, >> >> I put my M3 back in to use over the vacation.
