Tmax 400@3200 W/ Tmax Developer

[Tripper]

Looking at "the Massive Dev. Chart" under push processing, TMAX film seems to be unique with it's own rules for pushing i.e 3 stop push = 1.66x dev. time. I assume this is for STD. developer.

Compensating developer's (TMAX listed as such) also have lowered push times vs std developers - 2.5x vs 4.5x for 3 stop.

So if one is using TMAX film and TMAX developer, what then???

Would that mean (1.66-1)x(2.5/4.5)+1=1.363x for 3 stop push when using this combo?

Anyone have any experience pushing TMAX 400 to 3200 when developing w/TMAX? Any guesses at say 70 degrees F?

I have a feeling I'm making this more complicated than it should be..............

I do my TMAX 400 3 push in Tmax developer 1:4 at 24C = 75F for 9:30 minutes. Excellent grainy results.

I expect to see different results with AGFA APX 400 same condition. Will upload the scans very soon.
I recommend the KODAK site about. No need to do math for the job
