Subject: [Digital BW] OT - controlling tech pan contrast

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.


Rate the film speed at 15 ISO and reduce dev time by 25% then all will be
revealed, as they say in the trade.

Richard
