Response to T-MAX 100 - What is YOUR prefered chemical? WHY?

from Michael Goldfarb (mgoldfar@mobius-inc.com)
Good old D-76 1:1 at Kodak's stated times (I think 12 minutes at 68, agitation at 30-sec intervals). Very punchy negs, verging on too much contrast occasionally, but still eminently printable. Nearly invisible grain in anything less than 11x14 from 35mm.

Personally, I've had borderline-underdevelopment every time I've tried TMX in XTOL 1:1, but I plan to try it again soon, as I think it is a bit better in terms of contrast, and perhaps grain too. But D-76 works fine most of the time...
