I think the most interesting take-away so far is that after 126 votes no one selected the lab processing option.

I'm sure there are some but they are probably embarrassed about it

Which developer you use for LF sheets? I don't have any problems using any developers for 120 rolls, but few developers stating it is not suitable for sheets and only normal process such as TMAX, so what is your recommendation? Rodinal is out of availability for me.
hey tareq
it is only tmax that is not recommended for sheets,
if you can get ahold of tmax rs you will be OK with sheet films.
the RS version of TMAX developer is formulated to work,
the other version ( without the RS ) is not ... AND you can use
the tmax rs with roll film &c and it can be replenished if that is something
you like doing
good luck waiting for that lens !

Thanks John!
I think i better go with something else rather than Tmax for sheets, there are many developers to choose, so i may go back to D-76 and give it a try for sheets, if no go then HC-110 is my new fav dev anyway.
Xtol, Rodinal, D76
Xtol for tmax films, acros, agfa pan 250, panatomic-x, sometimes for plus x and fp4+.
Rodinal for Eastman XX, occasionally tri-x.
D76 for tri-x, neopan 400, plus x and fp4+.
Color I send out though.
I like the look of xx shot at 100-160 in it, but I also occasionally shoot it at 200-320 as well but it gets a bit to grainy with rodinal. I develop it highly diluted 1:100 stand. It just matches well for me I guess. I have about 700-800 ft of a 1000ft reel in my freezer.
Dunno how I have all these films, I just bought them as they came along and was fortunate to get most at decent prices. But the fridge drawers and freezer is packed mostly with stuff I don't shoot too often. I've got a pretty hefty cache of HIE and Panatomic X in there as well. I just about finished all of my plus x in 35mm and 120 this summer. Good bit of ektachrome and even more of super slow ektachrome dupe. I finished off my tmax3200 but was lucky to get a a bunch of delta 3200 and portra 800.
But I think people here may have much more films than me, and probably more rarer ones. The only one I'm going to be really sore about not having anymore is the agfapan 250. I had one 400ft cine reel that I have only a few rolls left. I've been reluctant to finish them.

If we ever get the manhattan meetup thing going again I'll give you a few rolls of xx to try. I've given them out to a few of the guys to test as well. There is a bit more info on xx and various development info and results on rff too. This post reminds me that I have to defrost and roll some more soon.
I am at that stage where I am sampling everything. Film, developer, formats, camera bodies, lenses... It's all good.
At the moment on my dev shelf I have Adonal, Xtol, ID-11, Microphen, Ilfosol 3, Preparation H, Perceptol, TMAX Dev, and Ilfotec. I have actually used XTOL and TMAX Dev. There is neither rhyme nor reason for this nonsense.
And there's a bunch I'd like to try, including caffenol.
