I am new to this B&W developing and would like to get some help on one of my first print that I made that came out really overexposed(dark). I just got Omega B22 enlarger with Nikkor 50mm f2.8 lens with it and had a Tmax 3200 negative film already processed from local lab and decided to make a print. I followed some of the book and instructions on the print paper(Ilford) and chemicals(Ilford) that I got from local shop. I have exposed at f8 for 10sec and developed for 1min and 15sec on the stop bath and 30sec fixed. the picture is very dark, almost black. I can see that it only take may be less than 10sec to develpe from the developer, so I did not need to even go for full 1 minutes. I don't know what I am doing wrong, since this is the first time ever I made the print, there maybe something that I am not doing right... please advice why is the print so dark....(posted 8757 days ago)thanks
