I will likely do my own processing using the Jobo. SO agitation and temperature control is not a problem. I don't have a real darkroom so my preferred method of working will be similar to what I do with color slides - develop in the Jobo, then scan in using the Nikon LS-4000 scanner. I don't have a very good solution for B&W output yet (I have a Kodak 8500 dye sub and an Epson 1280, both can do decent B&W, but not great B&W) but I will address that one way or another. Most of my picture taking are done in the ASA400 range, occasionally I would use ASA1600. I think I would like film with good tonal ranges, decent sharpness and of course scan well. So given those information, what would you recommend? Should I just go with Eric's comment that *** Talking about tonality, nothing I've seen can touch Press Maxx developer for beautiful tones with both TMY and TMX. TMX is simply amazing with it. *** Thoughts? Thanks! // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
