Anthony,

Thee are a number of reasons why your negatives are thin-based on the information you have cited.

For fail safe results I recommend you pursue the following strategy:

1. Set meter for ISO 200
2. set shutter speed to 1/250 and leave it there.
3. use a wratten 25A filter or its equivalent
4. bracket at meter recommendations +1 and -1
5. Process using the following steps:
		prewash for 2 minutes at or near development temp (to assist with uniform 			processing)
		develop in D76 stock solution at 20 C for 11 minutes or at 1:1 for 22 minutes and 		use gentle-stress -gentle agitation
		if you must use T-max developer then use it at 1:9 for 9 minutes again with gentle 		agitation
		Stop and fix as per usual.

I will be very surprised if this approach does not give you very good negatives for all normal pictorial applications.

Regards,

Des Crawley

I am new to this group so I apologize in advance if this issue has been
discussed.  Every roll of Kodak IR that I shoot comes out thin (neg are
dark and contact sheet is light).  I set the ASA at 80, use a #25 filter (and
occasionally a polarizer in combination with the #25), meter through the
lens, and bracket 2 stops in each direction.  

I develop the film in plastic tanks using Tmax developer at 75 degrees for
about 6.5 minutes.  If I want to have better negatives but still want to
have foliage appear surreal, what should I do? 

Thanks
Tony Lupo
