Hi Allan Best thing I've found to tame TMax 400 is Ilford Perceptol diluted 1:3 - long development times but it gives very printable negs with most of the film's toe and shoulder oddities well under control. It's not bad in Xtol either and acceptable in D-76, just don't like the look in TMax dev - think you feel the same!
