xtol for 4x5 or what is best
D76 is a good choice. I develop T Max 100 with it at 1-1, 75 degrees,
contstant agitation. Not that my times will necessarily be yours but FWIW my N time is 6 minutes 15 seconds, N - 1 is 5 minutes, N+1 is 7 minutes 45 seconds, N - 2 is 4 minutes, N+2 is 11 minutes.

xtol for 4x5 or what is best
I am just getting back into 4x5 after many years and would like to
know what is a good developer for this film (TMAX 100)? My preference is Kodak's T-Max RS, per the instructions, 8 mins. I like the tonality and crispness -- it seems to bring out the best in the TMX film. mjs C program run. C program crash. C programmer quit. |

I thought that Tmax was not recommended for 4x5.

They have another developer called Tmax-rs which is recommended for use with sheet film. I personally use Tmax for roll film and Tmax-rs for sheet film. Most people I know use Tmax-rs for both. This is to minimize the number of developers/chemicals they keep around the house. I however prefer Tmax over Tmax-rs so I use it where I can. : On Sun, 22 Feb 2004 23:00:03 -0600, Frank Pittel : wrote: : Gary Banuk wrote: : : I am just getting back into 4x5 after many years and would like to : : know what is a good developer for this film (TMAX 100)? : : I'm partial to Tmax-rs.

... I thought that Tmax was not recommended for 4x5. TMAX RS works fine. Regular TMAX (non RS version) developer is not recommended for TMAX films. |

I heard that TMax100 and 400 were developed as products using D76 as the
foundation. It's a wonderful combination. In my case, I use D76 straight and used Minor White's eye match method to determine film speed and development times. I hope this helps - Chris Gary Banuk wrote: I am just getting back into 4x5 after many years and would like to know what is a good developer for this film (TMAX 100)? Any thoughts |
