TRI-X 1600 in T-MAX 1:4

[Znerken]

So I have developed a couple of test rolls in T-MAX 1:4 lately. I am pretty impressed by this developer! What do you think?

At a low resolution like this.....pretty good.

Let's see something with a few more pixels in it.

Tmax dev 1:4 is my base developer for everything.
Kodak lists 2 temperatures. I use the lower one only (20c).
Easing up on agitation if I have sensitive highlights.
I develop about 15 rolls per pre-mixed gallon re-using tmax 1:4.
Improving economy to about .25 per roll.

Tmax gives a "clean look" . Transitions can look a bit abrupt sometimes.
If I want a grittier look I go with Rodinal. Those are my only two.
Done experimenting.

How would you compare it to X-TOL? I like X-TOL a lot as well.

I know of X-Tol but have not used it.
