This always happen, the best tonality from any given film comes underexposing it about an stop and developing it having that in mind. This does not apply to slides, indeed. :) > The variation depended on whether or not the lamp was in, or close > to, the frame. (And, this was after making sure I wasn't metering > the lamp.)

If you are aiming to have some rules to shoot consistently under tungsten light I think that you will save time and money going methodical and running some test to find the effective sensibility of your film of choice. It's boring to death, I know, but helps a lot. > I may give P3200 another try eventually but I'd like to stick with > C41-process films for now. C41 is quite comfy, but I don't know if someone is offering high ISO in this process. Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
