Ilford Pan F Plus ISO 50 How should I rate this film? I bought some Pan F Plus ISO 50 and got it in the mail the other day and someone at my photo guild said I should always pull my B/W film 1 stop to overexpose? Does this sound logical. I can't remember why he said this but he said that I should shoot my 50 at 25 instead. Should I do this (especially on my first roll of it) or should I just go with the 50 and hope my camera meter is pretty doggon correct? I'm not good at exposure so the whole "meter for shadows and expose for highlights" ordeal is foreign to me. Please help as I want to get some great photos of old buildings from this on tomorrow's shoot. Thanks so much. .justin. P.S. I was really contemplating leaving BP but Heather deleted my thread and wrote me a nice email saying to just ignore him so I thought I'd give it one more shot until he offends me or any of my friends on here. As always, thanks for everyone's support who's always helped. .justin.

I just see photography as an art, a fine art in a way so one would assume this "career field" would be filled with respectful and respectable people. Maybe he was just raised poorly with no manners or concern for others. Hmm oh well. Hey sam do you shoot film or digital, i'm still hoping someone can help me here. thanks for the support. .justin.

I think what this person was saying is that you intentionally over expose so you get all the detail in your shadows that you can get. Then, when you pull process (shorter developing time) your fill, that will bring the highlights back to managable levels. Somebody else correct me if I'm wrong. Hope this helps! Thanks for sticking around too!
