>>4468791I find tmax to be quite a bland and often muddy looking film, but I have seen very very good results from it. Way too expensive in 8x10 compared to ilford films that give me great results.
I knew this old master photographer that would shoot tmax 12ish stops overexposed, develop it in a secret way, and then use enlargers with a dimmer switch so it took 3 hours to expose printing paper. Unbelievably incredible results from tmax, but he never told me how he developed, and I never got to see any of his negatives. I moved away and he died from fucking covid. I have his photography book somewhere at least.
Steve carver. Really good dude and I learned a lot making prints with him. Rip.
