Juan, I think we are saying the same thing.
I was referring to your "normally longer times than recommended are better" comment, which I took to mean use longer times. The original poster also mentioned overdeveloping to be on the safe side. I found for the light I shoot in and the prints I make, the recommended times work out pretty good. And for someone who's never used the film before, the recommended times in standard developers are a pretty good starting point. Especially since they're likely to go off and shoot it at 3200 or 6400 and have their metering all over the place
I don't always get through a roll in one type of light, so middle of the road developing times are appropriate a lot of times. If I shot several rolls in a low contrast setting, I would leave it in the dev longer, you are correct. Likewise, high contrast lighting might call for a pull.

I would like to see more photos and less discussion, for there is an entire forum out there for discussion. I do however appreciate the advice on dev times. Thanks guys.

Not the best examples as I had a few er.. lapses in judgement
but here's a couple more examples..
I bought one roll to see what it was like. It was shot at 1600 and developed in ID11 (stock) for er.. too long (my mum phoned during the development! I shouldn't have answered).
I've concluded that it would be great for certain types of photography, and would probably be a lot better in something other than ID11 (If I use it again I think I will get some TMax dev)

And this is one of them
I linked to about 200 TMZ shots of mine. It's all I can provide.

Great photos from everyone. Makes me anticipate my results more.

Yes, Tim... We're saying the same.
