Response to TMax 100 Question

from David Goldfarb (dgoldfarb@barnard.edu)
I shoot TMX 100 (usually rated at 80 for normal processing) in D-76 1:1 quite a lot in 35mm, 6x6, and 8x10, and I like its smooth tonality and wide latitude.

In 8x10" it's a good match for Azo, and I would imagine it would work well with other long-scale processes like platinum/palladium. In the smaller formats, printing on conventional enlarging papers, it can be tricky to retain the highlight and shadow detail in the print, as in this image, but it's on the neg, so it can be done (the print is better than the scan).

I've also been able to tone TMX successfully in Kodak Rapid Selenium toner (1:3, 8 min., 68 deg. F) for a 1-zone expansion to pump up the highlights on a flat image.
