OT - controlling tech pan contrast

2004-06-25 by Richard Smallfield

Hi,
I am in a situation which forces me to send my film out to the pro lab for processing.

I find that Tech Pan is only an option in the dullest of conditions (when it is fantastic); yet I've seen desert shots with Tech Pan, with a red filter, what's more.

In anything like sunny conditions, the highlights and shadows are totally lost.

Do you think that asking the lab to under-develop by 30% would be a good idea?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks,
Richard
