Re: T-max 400 processing times.

["Jd" <nubbin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Just out of curiousity, how come you don't like T-max? I always thought
it was the best B&W film out there. I used that plus-x and I thuought it had
too much grain, I've never used Tri-x though. And I guess this brings up
another question. What is the difference between the different developers?
I've never used anything other than D-76. Cause I've only had about 1 and
half years experience in the dark room and film developing, So I am open to
suggestions.

    Thanks for the info. I'll try to refrain from asking non-IR questions.
