Response to Need suggestions to increase grain

I find TMAX film's grain structure too angular for the "sooty" look. Try experimenting with HP5 or Tri-X in Rodinal, but boost the temperature to 70-72 degrees. "Cooking" the film produces a larger grain structure. You probably want to do some tests to prevent too much over development. Another way to go is to use 2475 recording film processed in Kodak DK-50. It produces an erratic "clumpy" grain. I don't think this film is on the market anymore, so you would have to do some searching, and what you do find is most likely outdate. Good luck. ~K
