Well, Sebastiao Salgado (Leica users to bring this back on topic) used to use Tri-X exclusively. (Now he also uses TMax P3200) I've seen 16x20 prints from a show by him that make me really respect Tri-X for all the fabulous pictures it has allowed. It's a big part of history. But has anyone else here tried Press Maxx developer? (Note: Not Tmax). I've used T-Max developer since about 6 months before it was on the market (we beta tested T-Max 400 and T-Max developer at the University of Missouri and it was my job to gather information and send it to Kodak). It's fabulous, but it's for pushing, not for normal development, though it works well for that too. Regards, Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
