FWIW, I've used Microphen with T-max 100 and it worked just fine - exactly as I expected it to - no problems with respect to rating of the film.
By rating the film lower (i.e. overexposing by one stop) , if developed "normally", it should increase contrast in the film. However, different developers will produce different results (as has been already noted). If you don't want to drop your film speed, use Ilford Microphen or Kodak's T-max. Cheers, Dave My biggest concern was the overall graininess in some of the Tmax 100 negs. I just did a whole batch of films, which I haven't gotten to really look at, yet. We'll see if thats repeated again, or not. > I did some pretty extensive testing with T-Max when it first hit > the market, and discovered that it works really well with T-Max > developer, but in ID-11 it does lose film speed, which may > account for the extra granularity that you are seeing. I've been told to shoot teh Tmax 400 at 320, does this mean I should do Tmax 100 at 64? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
