I'm looking for a faster film to shoot in 4x5 and develop in Barry's two bath formula.
I like the ease of that developer, and I've gotten good results using a number of slow to medium speed films. I think I've run a roll of tri-x through it, but since tri-x 400 isn't available in 4x5, I can't consider it.
To sample Tmax 400, I shot a 35mm roll, since I don't have any 4x5 laying around.
I know it's not fair to compare this to 4x5 film, I'm just trying to get a feel for the quality I'd get from tmax in barry's.

I like that and I know that you want to use TMax400 indoors. But you should shoot some images with high contrast to see if everything works out. I know you can customize developments with 4x5 but there is always the muddy middle tones.
