I always shot it at ASA 800 developed in Tmax developer for 6 mins at 70 degrees, agitation every 30 seconds at the end of the 6 minutes the developer went down the drain and the film went directly into fixer and sloshed -agitated vigorously for a couple of minutes and it was done! Finito. Then washed. If anyone has any rebuts against this method please look at our book "WOMEN IN MEDICINE. A CELEBRATON OF THEIR WORK" and you will see the results of slightly over 500 rolls of 36 exposure Tmax 400 souped in this method. Quite frankly it's beautiful! I'm surprised I remembered the details given I'm all digital now. I suppose after multi thousands of rolls souped with this method it's easy to remember. :-) ted
