Response to t-grain shine

I suspect Charlie is right on both counts: reduced blue sensitivity equates to increased red sensitivity, so pink flesh would show increased density, plus the lack of a shoulder. I don't use T-Max 100 much, but I often use T-Max 400 and I always reserve it for situations where I want to increase contrast. If I use it on a sunny day, the negatives will be difficult to print, even if developed in PMK, which normally allows you to print detail in the high values much more readily. Rodinal has a tendency to overdo highlights with any film, but particularly T-Max films, so you have to carefully adjust dilution and time, as well as exposure index.
