exposure compensation Here is the scenario: Ilford 3200 in a Nikon N75 with a red filter attached. The pictures were taken in normal daylight, outdoors, mostly in shaded areas such as near or on porches (3200 was used for its grain). The camera set its own apertures and shutter speeds. But the exposure compensation had been pre-set to + 3. If the camera metered with the red filter on, wouldn't it have automatically compensated? And if so, will the pictures be overexposed due to the + 3 exposure compensation? If overexposure is likely, could having the developer "pull" the film save the images? Thanks in advance for any help with this. Jason

Using the in-camera meter there is no need to use exposure compensation for the filter. Setting the ISO for 3200 and the exposure compensation for +3 stops, the film has essentially been exposed for ISO 400. Assuming this compensation was applied for the whole roll, you can have it developed to ISO 800 or 400 with good results. See the technical data for Delta 3200 available at http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/pdf/delta3200.pdf, for exposure and developing instructions. While the film is intended to be exposed/developed at ISO 3200, Ilford claims good results can be had from ISO 400 to 6400.
