I did not like T Max requirment for exacting temp. control. I also found that fresh fixer and longer times were required. While I had been keeping to new fixer every 2 months regardless of how little i might have used it I found that I was re-fixing tMax - something that I never had to do with other films. I got back into photography 3 years ago and started with TriX. Now I'm happy using HP5+ and if i want the grain I used rodinal 1:25 ( for 8 minutes not 6 as listed in Ilfords literature - EI 0f 400).
