I have tried using T-max 400 under low light conditions, rated at 800 and developed in T-max or HC-110. The negatives I get have very course grain and also high contrast. I would like to have more tones in my prints. With regards only to Tmax 400, is there any way I can do this? >>>>> Hi Adi, Gee if you had of called the Concorde hotel in KL sometime during the past 5 days I could have helped with hands on right there help! :) I sent an e-mail last week before leaving Canada and had made arrangements for you to attend the sports/Olympics slide presentation I was giving to the SUKOM KL 1998 Commonwealth Games organizing commitee on Monday morning. I guess sometimes these email things don't always work. :) I can save you a lot of grief! Get some of the new KODAK T400CN chromegenic B&W film that you can shoot at asa 100 and 1000 all on the same roll and it is grainless. It is a C41 processing done in a colour lab, you can print some of the most beautiful low light prints you will find. There really isn't any grain as it is a dye film. You may not be able to find it in KL yet, but it is truly a very interesting film for available light and Leica lenses. Ted
