Sorry for asking a generic photography question, but, what do
you mean when you say "crossed curves"? Also, is this a good
general practice for such negative films, regardless of light
conditions (for instance, shooting daylight sports with 400 to get
a fast shutter speed on a slow and better-shut-down lens)?
