I had lots of problems with _very_ thin negatives when I tried Tmax 100 and
Xtol 1:3. Xtol 1:1 worked ok.

These days I use FP4 as my slow film and that works very well at 1:3.

I'm still up but not for long not clear if you are kidding as Xtol and T-Max
to together like bee's and honey. I don't use T-Max but I've held the
results in my hand. I thought it was the 100 and I'm seldom wrong on that
stuff. It was the 400. And 11x14 reason coateds out of the darkroom.

I hate it when people write or say TMX and TMY (you didn't) i always have to
count through it with my fingers. Z i don't need my fingers but hate it
anyway. Like the pros who can keep up with the color slide film which
changes every 6 months. They know damn well no one knows what they are ta
ling about except a select few. "EPX" who the hell cares (just made that
stuff up I think.)
