With TMX100 I use Ilfosol, which I believe is a PQ variant of D76, at the recommended dilution & time, with up to 10% extra if the lighting has been flat. I find that the density doesn't easily block up with this combo, and it gives the best compromise of grain and gradation that I've come across.(posted 8916 days ago)I tried about a dozen different developers with T-max when it first came out, and settled on Paterson's Acuspecial; then they took it off the market! Ilfosol was the closest substitute, after running through another half-dozen contenders.
