TRI-X 400 EI 1600 developed in TMAX, have you tried it?

[eskil_hess]

I am a real fan of tri-x pushed to 1600 developed in XTOL, but I hate the thought of mixing powder. Have anyone tried it in TMAX?

 

 

If I look at the following two images which compares XTOL and TMAX for tri-x, it looks to me like TMAX actually has finer grain?

I can say that I am after the same look I receive by XTOL. I scan my images, so I guess that's relevant as well. Kodak,

please announce a fluid XTOL

<p>If you hate power developers, consider Ilford Ilfosol DD-X. It's a moderately speed-enhancing developer, competing directly with TMAX and XTOL developers. </p>

I forgot to say that I have actually tried a lab that used DDX, but I liked XTOL more. But TMAX is fluid, so why use DDX

instead of TMAX?

<p>For both Tri-X and TMY, Kodak has times for EI1600 and EI3200. They recommend no development change for EI800.</p>

<p>TMAX is at the top of the non-alphabetical list of developers for both pushed and non-pushed, except that they don't recommend it for large tank processing. </p>

<p>I don't remember ever knowing Kodak to supply the same formula in powder and liquid form, though I never looked all that hard.</p>

<p>Have you tried Acufine? I got pretty decent results with ASA 1200 and 1600.<br>
