I accidentally shot my Reala 100, metered at 320. So it's about 2 stops off. Any hope?


Sure :)


My friend says that if it's 1 stop off, they usually compensate it at printing time, but for 2 stops, I need it compensated at development time, yes?


Well, unlike slide film, negative film is quite *patient, general rule is you can shoot -1 stop even without compensating (i.e. push) in the lab. Since it's not even two stops I would have it pushed 1 stop, you should be fine. Pushing 2 stops should work also, but is usually more expensive. It might depend also on what kind of light situation you shot, but I won't pretend I'm an expert...


I will be taking it to a pro lab, so what should I tell them, or will they know better then me?


tell them the truth ;).

cheers
