Nice to see, that large format is becoming popular in Poland.My grandfather.

As I'm planning to return to my homeland some day (with my cameras of course), I don't want to look like a person requiring immediate psychiatric treatment.

5x7 Ilford HP5+, Pyrocat-HD
I post this, to share how nicely HP5+ works with Pyrocat HD. As you can see from these developer time/contrast curves, it is quite linear in its response to development, much like TMY. The curves were taken from page 4 of this article on Unblinking Eye.
One might even argue that because a few more minutes of development are required to reach the same contrast, it gives more control than TMY.
In any event, it's available in 5x7, while TMY is not currently available. Salutations to Ilford !!
I also appreciate that flat-bed scanners like the Epson, use a diffused light-source, a cold cathode fluorescent lamp - just like a cold light head in an enlarger. Why bother with a compensating developer, if the rest of our workflow tosses away the benefits ?

Ken, why 2+2+100 instead of 1+1+100?

Those graphs come from Sandy King's article on Unblinking Eye. The article did not contain graphs for TMY and HP5+ at 1+1+100.
I you like 5x7, and are looking for a film that is similar to TMY, then consider HP5+ in Pyrocat HD.
I use a dilution of 1+1+100 because it gives a longer development time. I prefer longer development times for sheet film - because I use an Infra Red viewing device and perform Development By Inspection. I generally develop 10 to 20 sheets together, and more time makes it easier to judge each negative.
Thanks, Ken.
I must admit I'm not fond of the 5x7 ratio and, as you know, Paul Strand modified his 5x7 camera to 5x6: I really prefer 4x5 and 8x10.

I agree that 5x7 is not very satisfying. Or rather, I have not seen a lot of images where it works nicely.
These days, I mask my 4x5 and 5x7 cameras to the Golden Mean, but I am not married to it.
4x5 and 8x10 are basically two golden rectangles together.
