Like a nut I have to try things others recommend against. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised. This experiment did not work out well the first or second go around so I thought some of you might find it useful.
TMAX P3200 shot at 3200 developed in PMK (yes you read that right). These are not a great shots but part of the testing on my first successful rolls.
The real challenge is that the TMZ seems to exhaust PMK more quickly than just about anything else I have ever processed. Here are some samples and then the recipe.
Developer mixed with distilled water.
The second and third shots were PMK 1+2+100 but you absolutely need 500ml for each roll other wise the will be really really thin - as in useless.
80 degrees F for 11 mins agitation - continuous 1st 30s then 3 inversions every 30 seconds. Water presoak for 2mins.
The first shot was exactly the same EXCEPT PMK 2+2+100 (1+1+50) as I felt there was still some exhaustion issues.
Thoughts?
