Accidentally way underexposed TMAX 3200P...

Sometimes I'm pretty careless. <br><br>

 

This time I really did it. I exposed TMAX 3200P at an ISO of 6400

with a -2 stop compensation. I guess that puts me at.. EI 25,000?

<br><br>

 

I understand this film can go this high.. how should I develop this?

What should I expect?

If the shots are important, take another roll the SAME way and "cook" it in a high energy soup like Acufine. After about 20 minutes, dip the roll in water and snip off a few frames and clear them, and go from there. In any event, don't expect too much.

<p>Erik, friend of mine have done such test while ago. (Lab have send he's

negative to Kodak with all specifications...) rated up to ISO 102400... yes so

much. Developed in T-Max RS, but I don't remember times and temperature,

however, I can get info in day or two.<br>

Maximum I'w pushed T-Max 3200 was ISO 25600 developed in ordinary T-Max

developer and I can say I didn't get much better grain.</p>

Your results are going to be extremely contrasty and have almost no shadow detail, but check the <a href="http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html">Massive Dev Chart</a> to find a reasonable developer time combination. If the roll is really important run a test roll through what the MDC suggests, and make sure the negatives look OK. Me, I'd just plop it in HC110 for 12 minutes or 14 minutes at 68F depending on whether you have old TMAX 3200 or new.
