francesca_patrizio Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Can anyone tell me the times and temps for developing tmas100 film? (i.e., 68 degree chemicals at 7 minutes) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth_harper Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Should tell you on the inside of the film packet, or on the leaflet with the developer. What developer are going to use? Is it the latest Tmax or is it the old stuff? If you ain't used Tmax before, bracket the exposures on the first couple of rolls and go with the standard development time, then work out what you really need. Everybody at the end of the day works out their own times. I just processed my first Tmax100 tonight (new Tmax). I reckon I need 8 minutes and 30 seconds with Ilfosol S, which funnily enougth is the time they quote for the old film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0002a Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 If you are using a Kodak or Ilford developer, go to the web site of that company and get the information there. Remember that most published developemnt times are "starting points" and not gospel due to variations in processing techniques. Most of the published times refer to using a diffusion enlarger, and for a condenser enlarger a time reduction of about 10-15% often works better.

gareth_harper Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Oh, If you haven't used a delta or Tmax film before remember to give it extra time in the fixer and a good wash. I fix for 6 minutes with fresh Ilford rapid fix and force wash for 30 minutes. That way I don't get the dreaded pink tinge that can be a problem with these films.
