Well, lessee here: I want the very best quality negative I can
get (maybe I'm gonna blow up some shots and put them in a show),
which typically calls for slower film. I put ASA 64 or 100 in the
camera. It's a very cloudy day (or very late in the day), and I
want to use a fast enough shutter speed for some of the shots to
minimize blurring, say 1/250 or faster. At the same time, I want
a relatively small aperture setting so as to maintain maximum
depth of field. Now, it's possible, if not highly likely, that I
won't have enough available light to fully expose a slower speed
film. In this case, I can push the film.
I've never done the above, BTW, nor have I ever encountered any
reason to push a higher speed film such as 400. I'm just pointing
out that there may very well be valid reasons to do so.
