TMAX 400 shot @ 100....any tips?

[yossarian123]

Any tips for an old fool who thought he was shooting Acros 100, when he actually had Tmax 400 loaded? I've got HC-110 and Rodinal on hand.

massive dev chart says rodinal 1+50 for 3:45, does that sound right?

Plus it was expired (2007) film. Normally I would have used EI 320/250 to account for a slight loss of speed.

I would say yes. Just don't agitate too much (once every 3 minutes) plus cut the time by 10%. TMax 400-2 is not a forgiving film but handled with Rodinal which loses speed anyway you will be OK.

I shoot it a 200 and down to 100 is only one stop. So you should be fine.

EDIT: I've never developed it a 3:45, my guess it would be thin negatives. I have a much longer time for 200 at with Rodinal 1+50. Even longer than MDCs.

3:45 is too short. Normal would be about 10 minutes for Tmax 400 exposed at 250. Try cutting that time 10% like John suggested and you should be pretty close. So, maybe 9 minutes at 1+50.

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to give 9 minutes a shot and see what happens.
