joey_b. Posted January 12, 1998 Share Posted January 12, 1998 Is anyone using Tmax rs 1:9 with Tmax 100 in 120 format? If so what would be a good starting time for small tank developing ? I've heard the John Sexton is using this combo and getting great results but you know how rumors are !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_white2 Posted January 14, 1998 Share Posted January 14, 1998 I don't know how true the rumors are about John Sexton using 120 lately. When I did a workshop with him a couple of years ago he did not own any medium format cameras, although he was preparing to go out of the country for some lectures and wanted to bring medium format instead of large format, so he very well maybe using 120. John's starting development time for T-Max 100 and T-max RS 1:9 in a small tank is 10.5 Min. @ 75 F. I personally like T-Max roll films developed in PMK developer. Negatives from this combination are noticeably sharper and have better tonal qualities. Before I started using PMK my black and white work was limited to large format to obtain the quality I like, but since I started using PMK I can get acceptable quality from 35mm and 120. I still use T-Max RS for my large format work, it is more controllable and sharpness and tonal quality are not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_b. Posted January 23, 1998 Author Share Posted January 23, 1998 I apologize if I made it sound like Mr. Sexton was using 120 ,that was not my intent ! Only that he is using Tmax film andthe Tmas rs developer . I appreciate the starting times for thisprocess . I have a friend using this combo also in 4X5 with a JOBOdrum processer and getting rave reviews from the local clubs . He gave me his starting times but my process (i.e. small tank) is sofar remove I thought I should inquire . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
