I use T-Max developer for fast films like TMZ 3200 or Delta 3200. But I don't like it for the T-Max 100 and 400. It seems to make them too contrasty and harsh. Perhaps it's just me, but I prefer the D-76 1:1 for those films. By the way, there are some serious pros who sware by D-23 for the 100 and 400 Kodak T-Grain films. I have the specs somewhere and will post them tomorrow if I can find them. Paul
