Processing Film


This weekend I shot a roll of TMAX ISO 400 speed 35mm film. But, my hand-held meter was set at ISO 100 (Ooops!).

The DX Code on the camera was set at 400 (because I didn't change it). But, I shot entirely manual, and all my shots were used as if I was shooting on ISO 100.

Therefore, do I just tell the lab to pull the film at ISO 100? Or, do I tell the lab the film is underexposed by 2 stops?. Or, are those two things the same?

Or, is the film ruined?

Thanks,
Jerry

  It's over exposed instead of under. But you do tell them to pull process it. But they're going to come out flat, meaning not much contrast. So ulness the lab uses contrast filters, they're not going to look how you want them.
