Is this normal for tmax 400 to be so dark - in the unexposed area where my finger is pointing? I shot at 400 (box speed), developed in Ilfosol 3 for 12 instead of 10 minutes at 1+14. Stopped for a minute in Ilfostop, and fixed for 5 minutes in Ilford Rapid Fixer with plenty agitation throughout. My logic was that I would try and compensate for the unknown age of the film with a bit more developing. FYI iso 800 would develop for 14 mins at this dilution.
The film is of unknown age/condition. The images seemed to have developed fine, will just have to see how they scan, but does anyone know if this is normal for the film?
