My Tmax100 negs looked thin and flat as well. The prints, however, are bueatiful (2 are hanging on my wall). I rated film at 80EI and developed in XTOL. I did use a 31/2 Polymax filter with my Polymax Fine Art paper (I usually use a 2/12-3) other than tat printing these negs are no more dificult than any other.(posted 8664 days ago)
