Slightly off the subject ... but I already answered "on topic".

I've moved away from D76 with TMax. I wasn't really satisfied with the
results. I've been using Tmax developer diluted standard (1:4) at 75
degrees F (6 minutes). The PAW I posted yesterday was with that
combination.

Can't put my finger on what I like better, but the highlights are not
getting blocked up and there is good shadow detail. That is what I'm
looking for.

It seems to be a tad grainier. I don't know. I'm not allergic to grain
so I haven't taken much consideration to that variable.
