Best paper focuser for T-Max 100 (4x5 negs)

I am having trouble cleanly resolving T-Max 100 negatives in the darkroom. The grain structure is so small that I am not at all sure that my focusing is correct. I am considering buying a Peak 1 focuser but will it do the job? Is there a better way?

Sincerely,

Jerry

I use a Peak grain focuser and it works. It is important to first

make sure your focuser is adjusted for your vision. The TMAX grain

is hard to see, so focus on some detailed area of the image. That

works for me.

actually it has not much to do with your focuser, or much to do with

the emulsion but merely with the ratio negative size-print size.

Regardless to the quality of the focuser the grain is relatively too

small. you have to focus, then, on lines or actual parts of the

negative wich will be visible in your focuser. That's all! Anyway, I

have a Peak type II and works very well, before I had a simple

paterson and it did the job almost as well.
