Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / March 2004T MAX Developer
Anyone has been using TMAX developer at 1:9 dilution? What is the result on TMX and TMY vs recommended dilution of 1:4? Thanks.

What is the result on : TMX and TMY vs recommended dilution of 1:4? : Thanks. I've been using Tmax diluted 1:9 for years and love it. It gives good shadow detail, smooth tonality and nearly non-existent grain.

It's a much better developr diluted at 1:9 then at 1:4.

I have used TMAX with TMAX 100 and 400 films for a couple of years at 1:9 solution at 75 degrees F with excellent results after having that recommended to me here. > >: It also appears to be sharper. > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > John S.

In fact, T-Max and T-Max RS have much too short times for many films, i.e., less than five minutes, so stretching this to around 8 minutes is another advantage. It would be intersting to know if T-Max RS can still be replenished at 1:9. DK-50 can be so its possible.

What doesn't make sense to me is that it's a much better developer and 1:9 and more people would keep using it after testing resulting in even more sales. I know that I first tried it at 1:4 and didn't like it. It wasn't until someone on the list suggested using it 1:9. Since I had most of a bottle left I tried it and loved the results. I also know that others here on the list have had the same results. Then again I'm not surprised by any of Kodak's marketing mess ups any more. : This way (recommended) Kodak sells more than double its product - good : marketing...! : > I've often why Kodak doesn't simply recommend using Tmax at 1:9.
