My presumption is: you have bought or have a source for the film and you have no other film options available. And, that you have a particular subject in mind. First of all, I don't know why you'd under expose it if you are not going to increase development, thus the contrast. If that is a "grain reduction" thing, I don't see it. It is 1/5th of a stop. However, setting the meter to 500 instead of 400 is what you want. Since cameras haven't had 1/400 second shutter speeds in a long time, that gives you 1/500 @ f/16 (sunny 16 rule) in the bright sun--which you don't have. Let me just add, if this is a project that is really important to you, why not use a tripod and ASA 100? Better yet, if you can get Technical Pan instead of TMax, go that way (tripod also). Seth
