Tmax 400 @ 1600?

[goo0h]

I've got a roll of TMAX 400 shot at 1600. I tend to use XTOL (1:1) and notice the massive dev chart says 12.25 (at 20C) for the time. Is that what folks here recommend? Overall I've tended to use the times from the massive dev chart and it seems to work OK to my eye, but never pushed this film that far before.

I recommend TMax developer and it will handle the two stop push with no problem, developing as per directions for 1600. My directions came from the massive dev chart.

Agreed. I regularly push Tmax 400 to 1600 in Tmax Developer, HC110 and DDX with usable results. I generally follow the timings from the Massive dev chart.
