Light and Model Experiments with TMY2

Hey now...XP2 is pretty nice. : ) Hopefully not a stupid question as you seem to be careful with everything photographic but, just in case, is your TMY2 fresh and stored in a cool, dry place? T-Max seems more sensitive to aging than other films (to me).

Thought I replied to this... weird... the problem is I like to control my images, and I like them cheap, I can't afford C-41 and I don't shoot it in color so I wouldn't shoot it in B&W I only use E-6 for color. Thanks though.

Just re-trying TMax 400, but your result here looks really good to me, nice highlights, plenty of shadow detail etc. Can't see any problem with a scanned neg.

It's not about THIS image, I have learned not to post crappy images here lol, but the ones that AREN'T good are upsetting, and I'm fairly sure this was my one by accident when I had changed lenses and basically overexposed the shot because the aperture on the other lens was set differently. Now I am willing to compensate to a degree, but as I said earlier, if I'm shooting 400 it's for a reason, there's no point in shooting @200 or @160 just to get the exposure I want when I could just shoot Acros or heck even PanF and push it...

Wow I need to not be so impulsive... I had freaked out because I thought I messed up in listing this as TMY-2 when I found a similar image that was PanF+ in my negatives... turns out, I must have shot the END of a roll of PanF+ and then switched to TMY-2 (probably to compare) and forgotten, and when I came across it I thought I had miss-labeled this... but as it turns out, I didn't, this is definitely TMY-2... man... ugh, I need to go to bed...

did you try diluting your developer? that will give you a longer gray scale so you can get detail in the bright white part of the picture. i had that problem with the film when it first came out . sorry i don't remember the dilution or times. how did you make out with the multitone multiortho film? did you ever get a continuous tone out of it? if you did , how ?
