Undoubtedly Ektar has some latitude to underexposure, but I think Kodak know a thing or two about what speed their films are, and unless I have a good reason I rate it at the box speed as I do any film, and I think that automatically down rating colour neg films for the sake of it is a mistake .

I love it when an automatic film down rater starts rants that I shot X at half the box speed and the film is crap! :laugh:

That's what I was thinking, but I was trying to be diplomatic :smile:

One can not be diplomatic with those people, they need to be drop kicked through the uprights to get them to re-engage their brains. :tongue:
