I processed a lot of it when I was running the commercial
darkroom. I never really got to like it, but I got to know it
pretty well. It has a very long straight exposure curve with a
fairly short toe, but a long shoulder. It is excessively
panchromatic, so do use at least a #8 filter.
I do my processing in a rotary processor using HC:110. My
T-Max 400 time is 4 1/2 minutes at 24ºC with dilution B. If I
was inversion agitating, I would drop the temperature to 20ºC
and go 9 minutes with agitation once per minute. As for what
speed to shoot it at, It always looked a bit under exposed to me
when I was printing it (I would presume most of it was shot at
400, my clientelle was only so so sophisticated), but it printed
well.
