Hmmm ...

For color negatives ... you can over-exposed by up to 2-stop and still get pretty good details.

For color slide . suggest to under by 1/3 to at most 1/2 stop.

For B&W and digital, it is best to under-exposed than to over-exposed the images ..

You may not be able to recover the lost details, however you can shift the curve .... :sweat:

Har? underexpose it? negative so thin, how to print?

Anyway, all negatives are better overexpose than underexpose it.

Knight, you know I am ignorant on digital. But I think on B&W film, I dare say that even if you overexposed by four stops you will still have a very usable negative. Your printing might require a lot more time, but the details will be there. The lattitude of B& white films goes up to somewhere near "Zone" 14!

Underexposing a B&W film will lead to poor shadows details. And no amount of "pushing" will help.

about 13 stops latitudes, who can compete? Anyone want to start shooting B/W?
