You can't beat JOBO processors for being consistent. I bought mine used - just like my Leicas! Get a JOBO and experiment until you find the right temperature and times for your photography. I use TMax developer diluted 1:7 at 21 Celsius for 13 minutes; however, the whole point is to find your own correct times and temperatures. I've been using TMax 100 and 400 since they were introduced and so far they are so much better than anything else that I wouldn't switch.
