They both detect light using silver halide crystals (blah, blah, blah, excuse me if that is not one hundred percent correct). C41 just has more specialized crystals in seperate layers to detect the color, right? >>I've also pushed c41 with decent results > > I, too, have pushed C41 with "grainy as hell" results. > > (read- >> grainy as hell), though not nearly as much as b&w. > > The graininess of pushed b/w increases, of course, with the extremity of the > push.

What I meant by that was that I've only pushed color film less than a handful of times while I've pushed hundreds of b&w. Nick - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
