Pulling color negatives

[oceanpriest]

Anyone know which lab can do pull processing on color negative?

Konota doesn't do push/pull for color negative, asked them before
TripleD also doesn't do push/pull for color negative, saw on their fb page
Grace (Sunsetway) also same, asked them via email

I know Fotohub accept push processing, waiting for their reply for pull processing...

update: got reply from fotohub, they don't do pull processing

pull processing, which mean the negative is overexposed.

color negative have much larger exposure latitude than color transparency. so it is fine to overexposed color nagative, in fact I overexposed all my color negative by one full stop, to get more saturation colors.

unless you overexposed by two to three stops, else I don't see a need to waste money to ask for pull processing on color negatives.

hope this help.

pull processing = overexpose and underdevelop the negative

Actually it's more about curiosity, I saw on other forum mentioning josevilla always pulls his pro400h 1/2-1/3 stops, and the color comes out really nice. IIRC he develops and scans at Richard Photolab, which will cost you US$20-24 for dev+scan and additional US$4 for special request (pulling perhaps). For pro wedding photographer like him, I don't think it's waste of money, considering he can pass the scan result to clients without need to do post processing
