On an impulse buy on that auction site I picked up three rolls of Eastman DMP 5360 film. The film is blood red and has an ASA of <1. I don't develop myself yet and my lab uses TMAX developer. Any ideas on time and temp with TMAX 1:4 so I can get a decent image?

Got it. I don't have the option to change developer from TMAX though. I suppose I could just wing it and have the dev the first roll @ 7 min & 25 C or whatever their machine can do that would give me the most development. They weren't receptive to changing concentrations from the stock 1:4 for TMAX. If I can't get something that way I will hold out until I can access a dark room and do it myself.

I would suggest the latter. It is ortho film, so you can turn on the life and inspect it during development - a manageable risk. I would suspect paper developer may be ok here as it is a really slow film.

I checked on flickr and the guy that sells it seems to be the only one with samples there. Maybe you should post some of your wild and crazy shots! :0

The results I got with it are here:

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

You really have to develop the living crap out of it to get decent images (and that's after already exposing the crap out of it!)

I don't think a machine set up to develop standard B&W film with TMax developer is going to cut it. Time to get a tank and reel and some jugs of chems!
