Eric et al, Is this Tmax + highly dilluted Tmax developer the hot ticket these days, or is John Sexton just using the stuff because it comes in Readyloads? Looking to settle in on one black-and-white film/developer combo and wish to begin film testing shortly, but I'm in no mood to test everything out there! Tri-X in HC110 has been mentioned elsewhere (Fred Picker's Zone VI Workshop, '74 ed), but the info was many years old, so I dunno if this is still a good way to go? Actual working film speed of 100-200 would be great. 50 is getting a little low, and 25's definitely so for all but the stillest of days. Suggestions would be most welcome before I go out and buy hundreds of feet of the wrong stuff! Jeff
