Re: What Asa to shoot tmax400 with standard development

2012-09-03 by Alexander

simple…..  320 and see if you're happy with the results.

10 points above film base is the starting point for black with detail.
Shoot a (20 step?)  gray wedge… and figure out where density starts…

expose for the shadows develop for the details.  Then buy a 
nikon D800 and forget about all this nonsense.  I get B&W prints from 
my large format epson printer that are better than anything I ever got in a darkroom....
