We have a roll of black and white film here at our lab that is TMAX 400 shot at 100 ASA. It is therefore over exposed. We would like to know the developing time and process using Kodak TMAX developer. Thank you!

We routinely shot Tmax 400 at ISO 200 at the newspaper and processed normally ( I think about 6 - 7 minutes in T max soup ) Should be just fine. Just make sure the fix is fresh so it will remove the magenta base cast. You are probably familiar with that characteristic.

You could try Xtol 1+3 and use the times for 100/200 ASA in Kodak's technical data sheet for Xtol (J-107). BTW, this happened to me with HP5+ shot at 50 ASA and the negative was fully usable.

Somone in my photography class did the same thing and we referred to the Kodak B & W darkroom data guide on push-processing and the answer was there for the exact times and temp. Unfortunetly, I don't own one or I would give the info here, but its a start. Marcy
