Thanks guys, the straight shoulder makes sense, i've now shot a roll of tmax 100 @ 50 and developed according to ed's 1:75 recommendation and it makes better prints in regards to the shine (except for some flash shots but i need to practice more at 50 iso with my flash as this was my first try)..... one thing i noticed however is that these negs are quite thin with very short exposure times for my enlarger, i'm normally printing 30 secs @ f/8 but these are 10 sec @ f/8.... is this normal for this film? i like the results and the enlargability of this combo but the thin negs were a bit of a surprise...(posted 8398 days ago)thanks again joe
