Doh! Forgot to change ISO

[Rob MacKillop]

Using Rhona's Canon AE-1 today. Shot 20 shots of Ilford 400 HP5, neglecting to check the camera's setting, which is 200. [doh]

I'll be sending the film to Joan at wedevelopfilms.co.uk - Should I mention this? Is there anything she can do? Or is it a waste of time?

Should I now change the camera to 400, or is better to see the film through to the end as is?

PS Quite enjoyed the camera!

Tell her Rob and then she can pull-process the film for the speed you actually used. Keep the setting the same for the rest of that roll.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. Guess I'm not the first to do this.

 

[Brian Moore]

I agree with Pete. But before doing that I would say go onto Flickr and see if you can find any examples of HP5 shot at 200 and processed for box speed. You might find that some people like it.

 

[Lesley Jones]

Rob - I really don't think you will notice the difference. HP5 is the most well behaved film and while I've only ever pushed it, I'm sure Joan will make an excellent job of the processing for you

 

[Hamish Gill]

As mentioned in another thread, I'm not sure Joad does pull processing ... Worth an ask though as it was c41 she wouldn't push for me ... She might do black and white.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Just because she won't do it for you, Hamish, doesn't mean she won't do it for a hottie like me

 

[Pete Askew]

Rob, you seem to have accidentally typed an h instead of sc!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Same thing

Just been checking out the images on Flickr of Hp5 at iso 200 - they look fine to me. I'll not worry about it, especially as I'll be digitising them eventually. Probably. Thanks everyone.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Ha!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I think Rob's Avatar description needs to change from 'Edinburgh Correspondent' to 'Hottie Scottie'

What do you think Hamish?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Noooo!

 

[Hamish Gill]

... Hmm, I'm with Chris ... That's two against one at te moment Rob ... And the two are both forum "staff" ... You may be on to a loser with this one ...[devil]

Hello,

Yes, leave the iso as set to finish the film and when you send the film mention that you have exposed at 200 and we'll sort it
