This doesn't agree with documentation from Kodak's web page.  Consider the
following:

         "Process E-6 produces images with higher color saturation and
contrast. The effective film speed when using Process E-6 is EI 200. EIR
film         can be pushed one stop for an exposure index of approximately
320. We do not recommend pushing the film beyond one stop. "
