Interesting. I've always read about Tentenal in Leica Photography. Seems to be very popular with European photographers. I've never tried it, because I can't find it here in the boonies of Oregon. I personally don't like using developer more than once. I like the one-shot method. Though I did used to like to use Acufine. But with that and replenishment, you didn't have to change development times. You just added a little replenisher and the developer lasted indefinitely. In fact, after some "seasoning" the developer took on a very nice character. If I were using Tri-X still, I'd probably use that for my personal work. But I process T-Max 400 in a Wing-Lynch rotary processor and the results are wonderful. Absolute even development, and perfect repeatability. That's with Press Maxx Developer. If I didn't hate Jobos so much, I'd recommend them. A Wing Lynch costs about $10,000. Glad I work as a photographer. :-) Regards, Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
