If I can get the Christmas dishes and rolls of gift wrap moved out of my darkroom to wherever else they belong, I'm going to load up with Tri-X and try again, but develop in D-76 1:1, as I did for 25 years, rather than this newfangled T-max stuff. Brian Reid<<< Brian, Just get yourself a good electronic scale and some bulk chemicals. It's really quite practical and not too difficult to mix up D-76 one quart at a time. T-Max Developer is a high activity hydroquinone-based developer designed for push-processing. I wouldn't recommend it with Tri-X, although it has its uses. (It's also an exceptionally poor developer for T-Max 100, oddly enough.) - --Mike
