After all, the C-41 specs, temps and times do change on occasion. Any machine that can't be adjusted is faced with obsolescence. -Lew -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+lew=speakeasy.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+lew=speakeasy.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Didier Ludwig Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2005 3:01 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] More on Pushing C-41 films At the photo store, where I usually let my B&W C-41 films processed, they told me pushing can't be done with their (small) C-41 engine, and needs a manual job. They had to send it to their central store. So the quality of a pushed B&W film is quite depending on how good this manual job is done. It costed me much more than the regular processing, and the quality was mediocre. I had the impression that they were just bored to do extra-orders on film and would have preferred to sell me a digital camera and printer... Didier >Maybe they're not willing or just don't know.
