Shooting with TMax 3200 I am confused about using TMax3200. I shoot weddings and heard you should rate TMax 3200 at 1600. Wouldn't you need to tell the lab to pull your film, rather than push it? Can someone explain? I think I've been going about this all wrong!

You can shoot tmax3200 at 1600, but when shooting indoors, you can't believe how little light there is. I actually push 3200 to 6400 in order to get a little more depth of field. The grain is moody and quite effective. In regards to shooting at 1600, yes......you can tell the lab to PULL the film to 1600. It's been done and it's no biggie for them to do it.

Despite the "3200" in the name, TMAX P3200 is designed to be multispeed. It is nominally a 800 or 1000 speed film (depending on the developer used) and if I'm not mistaken, the can has DX coding for ISO 1600. It can be exposed at any ISO from 400 to 6400 with great results, and up to 25000 for special effect. If you don't give your lab any instruction, they are as apt to develop it at 1600 as 3200. Always specify what ISO you want this film developed to. See http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/f4016/f4016.jhtml?id=0.1.18.14.21.14.16&lc=en . The same applies to Ilford's Delta 3200 (see http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/pdf/delta3200.pdf ).
