Nicholas Kovats Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I am aware of the general advantages regarding negative latitude. How far can I push this 50 ASA negative stock? 1, 2 or 3 stops? Any scanned examples? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Blakley Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Is there any reason you wouldn't just switch over to 7207, considering the additional lab expense of pushing? Edited February 17, 2012 by Jock Blakley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Kovats Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi Jock. I would if I could. However I am utilizing the UltraPan8 format which utilizes Regular 8 film (2R-1497). Specifically the full 16mm width of R8 with R8 pulldown. Here is a scanned example, i.e. In general there only two reversal R8 (2R-1497) stocks available, E100D and Plus-x. UltraPan8 only utilizes the right side B-Wind perf for pulldown. I recently had Mr. Edward Nowill in the UK reperforate 800 FT of standard single perf 16mm V3 50D (1R-2994) into a special B-wind only R8 stock, i.e. 1R-1497. This only usable in the UP8 format. V3 200T/500T are forthcoming. Hence my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Blakley Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oh, I see. Right. Well I've never pushed any of the 50D stocks myself, but I'd imagine with 7203 that you could probably get it to at least EI 200 (ie 2 stops) before you start have troubles. Of course testing is the only option, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
