Response to XTOL negitives seem brown .. is this normal?

from daniel taylor (aviator@agalis.net)
TMX .. outstanding in TMax RS or ID-11. Ken, Pro Photo Supply in Portland has plenty of Agfa. I assume you are in Hillsboro. there is much experimentation with TMX, but once you hone in on what it works, it truly amazes me. Rodinal, too grainy. TMX is a cut above any of the other films in terms of grain. I shoot 35mm and 4x5 and tried most all the developers. TMax (TMax RS for 4x5) rose to the top. my favourite runner up? Ilford's Delta 100 in ID-11.

TMX was the clear winner for me due to the reciprocity effect character. much less compensation, and charcoal tonality that scans very well. Xtol just didn't make the cut.
