Subject: [Digital BW] Re: What Asa to shoot tmax400 with standard
development


>>In regards to TMAX 400ŠPersonally I preferred shooting it at 320 because of
it's shoulder.

Um, wouldn't you use a HIGHER speed to avoid hitting a shoulder? Which
brings me to ask; what shoulder? I used quite a lot of T-Max 400 in the
research I did for new Zone System contraction techniques. I quit looking
for a shoulder after Zone 20! If it had one, the techniques I invented
wouldn't work and I assure, they do!

>>Last, the B&W chromo films didn't work with zone system very well because they
had highly compressed density curves.

I must admit you've got me on that one. What is a "highly compressed density
curve"?
