Rcently I got back from a trip where I shot a bunch of T-Max 100 4x5 film. I use d a No. 25 red filter and forgot to open up the lens. I know, what a dummy.
As an experiement (I shot 2 sheets of each scene) I processed the film in PMK Py ro and in Ilford Ilfotec DDX. I processed both to account for the underexposure. My gut feeling was that the film would be lost.
The results were quite astonishing. The film processed in Ilfotec DDX was much t o contrasty and looked terrible printed down even with a 00 filter. The sheets p rocessed in PMK Pyro for 25 minutes printed easily and produced wonderful images using a Grade 2.5 filter. I was amazed.
Has anyone else experienced this type of result.
I am convinced that PMK PYRO is worth the effort.
