TMax400 developing issues.

We each have our own secret formula or process. Mine is D-23 either 1:1 or straight, using box speed for the exposure. Most people don't want to make D-23 from scratch, but it's very simple - just metol and sodium sulfite. The times are very close to D-76 for a starting point and it tames the often blown-out highlights. Great for wet printing and for scanning.

Ive tried many developers and I found that I now use Pyro-M for 95% of my B&W developing. I love how it handles the highlights when I wet print and how it seems to give me better scans than the other developers I've tried.

"Chris" , you mention that the TMax developer ( in a dark container ) lasts quite some time , does it last anywhere as long as HC-110 in it's bottle ? I tend to go through significant time swings between developing and longevity is kinda important . Peter
