75 sheets of TMAX 400!

Late last night I loaded what was left of my last box of Arista Pro

125 film into some 8x10 film holders, then went exploring in the

freezer to see what other film might be hiding there(this is the

very same freezer that harbored the infamous pinhole

frozenturkeycam!) I rediscovered some TMAX 400 I had purchased a few

years ago and forgotten about. "Cool" I thought, I'll use the TMAX

for night photography and take advantage of it's generous

reciprocity characteristics. My question is, does anyone else here

shoot TMAX 400 and aside from TMAX RS, what developer(s) do you

suggest (the local camera shop no longer stocks RS)?

It is a great film souped in D-76 1:1 or pyrocat HD. I use it for alt-process stuff because it has a very low base+fog, and responds to a wide range of N- to N+ development times. If it were available in the ULF sizes, it would be the only film I would use because of its wonderful reciprocity characteristics.
