Film Grain


If I use 100 Speed film but push it to 400 speed on my camera's ISO setting, will I still get small grain of 100 speed film or will it have more grain like 400 speed? I would appriciate some more info on pushing film! Thanks

  The grain will be worse than normal 400 speed film. Aside from that, contrast will also be bad. (Well, for a 2 stop push it might not be that bad).

If you want speed with good colour and grain, try Fuji NPH. I swear by that stuff. I won't touch any other 400 speed film. Fuji claims it has better grain and colour saturation than most 100 speed film, and I would agree with them.
