Way back before the holidays I processed at batch of 4" x 5" Kodak T-Max 400. My typical developer for this film has been Kodak T-Max Developer. This developer is actually not recommended with sheet film as it is prone to uneven development. I have certainly experienced that in the past but have come up with a regimen that includes minimal agitation and that has seemed to resolve the problem. However, I am beginning to feel that this is not the best developer for this film, at least for the subject matter and lighting conditions that I am inclined to work with. In the coming year I will be doing some experimentation with both X-Tol developer, and 510 Pyro.
This particular batch included a mix of negatives that received both normal and plus development. I am generally happy with the results, but feel that there is room for improvement. These were all taken on various outings and weekend trips during 2014...
