For now, I wish to avoid processing in open trays and instead, maybe use very dilute developer and continuous rotary agitation if I can. Due to the volumes needed, Xtol isn't going to be practical, but I believe Tmax developer and Rodinal, to name two, will work. Due to the sheer number of products out there, I'd like some help in narrowing down my choices, lest I spend the next several years making test negatives. I believe someone has previously mentioned Tmax at 1:15 or thereabouts-I'd like to know more about this-what sort of processing times I might try, etc. I find 24 degree processing temperatures pretty handy. Much lower than that, and it ain't gonna happen 'till autumn! Jeff
