Delta 100 and Tmax 100 (4X5)

[Donald Miller]

I have come up with a box of each of these films in some stuff I bought. Has anyone got any advice for me? I usually use Pyrocat, but can probably mix up something else if another developer is warranted. Since I only have a box of each, I would rather not go through all of the testing.

Thanks for your advice.

I don't have any advise, but I'll be watching this thread closely.

I've got TMax right now and have been wondering how it pairs up to Ilford's and how most develop them. I'll probably be using Rodinal, most of the time.

I'm using TMAX 100 in 4x5 and, normally, I process it with XTOL. Recently, I tried Rodinal 1+50. The results were quite similar to XTOL 1+1 in sharpness and grain. About contrast, Rodinal 1+50 gives a little more contrast than XTOL. I'm very pleased with the results of Rodinal and, probably, I'll continue using it in the future.

I develop Delta 100 (medium and LF) in Pyrocat-HD and it works fine - stains and tans well.

I Have no data on TMAX 100 in Pyrocat (this film incorporates UV blocking so I don't use it). However, the 2 rolls of 35mm I recently developed for my daughter in dilute Ansco 130 turned out ok.

I also saw some examples today of 4x5 TMAX 100 developed in Acufine that looked great (desert landscape enlargements).

Thanks everyone

I LOVE delta 100. I've souped it in d-76, id-11, ilfosol, HC110, and pyrocat-hd. Honestly I did not get real good results with HC110 but that could be my mistake.

I wish it came in 5x7.

If you're already set up with PyroCat, just use it. A couple test shots, some Kentucky windage, and you're all set.

Have fun.
