If it means "pulling" which would also involve less development. And then less contrast. And that's a number you are giving the people who run your film. Most serious shooters tend to under expose their slides. They might "rate" their film higher to do this. With no change in development. "rate in this case means the iso setting on their meter. But most go with the number on the box. Keep the development the same. But are carful to expose "for" the highlights which means they are making sure they don't lose them. Bracketing has remained a basic technique for serious slide shooting. Its good to have chooses and options. -- Mark William Rabiner mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Akhil Lal <alal at poly.edu> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2010 17:47:16 -0400 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Rating Kodachrome K64 at what ISO? > > Are you going to project it?
