When I tested T-Max, I discovered that it has an almost straight

TMax developer never returned me any decent results at all. XTOL and
HC-110 worked well, XTOL the best.
All of my B&W development work was manual processing without a machine.
Microdol-X is a pretty crummy developer for landscape work, where
detail is very important. It was designed with a lot of grain
dissolver (sodium sulphite) to soften grain for portraiture. I
used to use it for portraiture a lot, stopped using it entirely
for anything else.
Did you ever try T-Max in Microdol-X?
It just turns the grain to mush.
Ugh, no. I'd stopped using Microdol-X years before, say about 1974.
