"Wow! I'm surprised I'm getting these kind of exposures on such a dull day!"

...then half a roll later...

"Crap."

So I accidently shot my roll of ERA100 at EI320. Since the mistake has been made, how can I get the best out of it in processing?

I have a little Rodinal, some HC-110, and some T-Max developer. My thought is HC-110 ( for ~14 minutes @20C? That's just a educated guess, though. Any other thoughts?

Hi Brian,

Since you are almost two stops underexposed, I'd try 100% extra development in the developer of your choice. A bit extra development shouldn't hurt, in this case.

Probably won't be much shadow detail, however. Probably mostly -highlights- and middle values. Let us know how it "comes out".

-Dan

Thanks

I saw your post on APUG on this the other day and that's pretty much what I did (I opted for a little more development since I always tend to err on the side of too much over too little). The negs are washing in the tank now and I'll post the results when I dry and scan them.
