In the case of black and white films, the ISO standard specifies development for specified contrast levels. In the case of color films, like C41 and E6, the times are fixed. Films like the Ektachrome P800/1600 might not actually be pushed in the technical sense, as they are developed for the appropriate time for that film, which happens to be longer than the process-specified time. For Delta 3200, the characteristic curve has an unusual shape, such that the ISO standard doesn't work as well. There is no straight line section in the Delta 3200 curve. ^[1] Gah4 ( talk) 18:34, 29 October 2018 (UTC) reply

I think the ASA section needs a conversion table for ASA 1942 vs. ASA 1960, to make the change more transparent, complete with a third column for modern ISO, to show easily how ISO is still identical to ASA 1960 in values. -- 2003:DA:CF39:B861:60FA:97C4:BA2C:67AC ( talk) 23:15, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Polaroid Type 107/667 were specified as 3000-speed films, not 3200; does this need to be reflected in the table? Okto8 ( talk) 17:06, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
