I'm not convinced pushing negative film works. I've had bad results from labs and was sick of paying extra for bad results...the ability to push is one of my favorite parts of b/w developing and one of the reasons I decided to try C41 developing. But in general I'm not sure the results are any different than just post-processing underexposed film. They seem pretty dark before lightening in PS and are super grainy once lightened.

Like in this photo, I don't see how the extra stop really bought me anything... ISO 800 probably could have handled this.
