Response to TMX and TMY in Rodinal

Daniel, I also love tmax films and also find that not many people like tmy in all these forums. I have searched (in a very un- scientific way) for some time for a good and easy developer choice for it and I have ended where I started: tmax developer, but at 1+9 instead of 1+4, doubling standard reported times in the bottle. At 1+9 it keeps the beautiful look of the grain and increases apparent acutance, which was my main problem. Rodinal gives too much grain for tmy in my opinion, not a big issue with tmx where it works better I think. Ilfosol-s gives a very rich tonality with both films, but maybe too rich. Anyway, I have decided to stop searching and start taking photos.
