I've noticed it's common for experienced LF shooters to expose film at speeds other than what it's listed at - Ilford HP5+ @ 200, for example.
Why is this so, and how can someone starting out figure out a film in this way?
Would I be wise to get to know a film by shooting/developing it at its listed speed first and then experimenting, or is this alternate EI listing immutable?
Thanks for any help
