I've never used the Tmax dev. myself, but have it at work for the kids in my
photo classes- they use it as cheap one-shot at 1:9 for Tri-X. (It's
impossible to figure out replenishment with D76 when you've got 30+ people
using the mix).

Slightly off the subject ... but I already answered "on topic".
I've moved away from D76 with TMax. I wasn't really satisfied with the
results. I've been using Tmax developer diluted standard (1:4) at 75
degrees F (6 minutes). The PAW I posted yesterday was with that
combination.
Can't put my finger on what I like better, but the highlights are not
getting blocked up and there is good shadow detail. That is what I'm
looking for.
It seems to be a tad grainier. I don't know. I'm not allergic to grain
so I haven't taken much consideration to that variable.

Has anybody tried this yet? I'll be doing it in D76 1:1.
