I've never developed Acros before - I took 4 rolls of it on my recent holiday (together with about 30 rolls of Agfapan :-). I just wanted confirmation of development times before I dunked 3 rolls in the tank. I _have_ had a problem with Tmax 100 at 1:3, I got _very_ faint negatives that were barely usable. Thanks for taking the time to respond, I'll be developing the Acros this weekend.

When you say it does not work for you could you be more specific? The way it goes is if you are not getting enough contrast give it more time. Like if you are using a higher contrast paper or filter than you are comfortable with. Next time you give the negs more time. Too much contrast: less time.
