ASA 100 to 400 is just a two-stop underexposure, which some films can handle
pretty well without push processing. Based on personal experience here's
what you can expect if it's processed normally: thin, grayish prints that
can be printed much better if you're willing to wrestle with the lab tech.
But if you get a know-nothing lab tech, don't expect much. A good tech,
OTOH, can do wonders with such negatives. The best prints can either be low
contrast but with acceptable detail (good choice for scanning and digital
reworking) or high-contrast with good color but blown highlights and no
shadow detail - okay for snapshots to pass around but not so good for
scanning.
Since you say these photos aren't of anything irreplaceable, I'd be inclined
to go with normal processing just to see how Fuji Super HG 100 responds. I
know that Fuji Superia X-tra 800 (or Fuji CZ) handles under- and
overexposure quite well.
Otherwise, expect to pay another $3-$5 for push processing by a lab that
knows how.

For various reasons, I ended up having to shoot a
roll of Fuji Super HG 100 at 400 ASA (i.e., I had the
ASA dial set at 400). What is the best way to process
this?
Regards,
Ranjan
