I overexposed a Fujicolor 400 Prof NPH film accidentially by 1 stop.
How to handle this to get it proper developped?
Do I have to reduce the dev.time by 15 à 30 seconds?

If it's important, I would expose another piece of film the same way and develop it.

Colour neg film will handle 1 stop overexposure reasonably well. Usually with the colour negative films, you get a slight reduction in grain size with slight overexposure. I call slight overexposure ½ a stop.

At the risk of problems with the colour layers not developing correctly, I wouldn't pull C41.

I'm not an expert, but I have shot and developed quite a lot of C41 and generally speaking you will be quite alright with a 1 stop overexposure.

Mick.

What Mark said. I always overexpose color negative film one stop to ensure adequate shadow detail. Dynamic range is what negative film is all about, otherwise we could all shoot digital :smile:.
