Hi Ron,
Most of those LF prints on the web site are FP4 negatives developed in Ilfosol
S. All of the processing is done with one shot developer, I have found it is
too hard to get consitant results using it over. The pics that I have been
getting from the Tmax just don't quite make it. I have processed the negs in a
uniroller drum and drive unit. One thing I have notice is that the Tmax is not
very forgiving on exposure latitude. I must admitt that using a LF camera is
completely different than any other that I have used.
I liked the Ilfosol S developer for both the sheet film and the 120 roll film,
but the stuff gets a little expensive to use. The 120 roll film shot in my
Kiev 88 looks pretty good processed in the D-76.
