[Frameworks] fast film

[Lars Fuchs]

I wonder if anyone could clarify for me what exactly 'rating at 250' means
in this context. Does this mean metering as if the film was 250ASA, and
then doing all lab work the same, without pushing or pulling in anyway? Or
does it mean something else?

begging forgiveness for my ignorance,
LF
