Guys,

Does anyone have examples of TMAX 100 or 400 developed in Prescysol?

I developed some Acros and Arista 4x5 in Prescysol (stand development) last night and was very pleased with both. I'll be testing TMAX this weekend but was just wondering if anyone else here has had experience with these 2 films and this developer.

Prescysol is generally thought to be a close clone of Pyrocat.

Pyrocat and Tmax 100 or 400 are a superb combination, and I've been using them until switching to Delta 100 & 400 & Pyrocat very recently

Thanks Ian,

You don't remember if you used box speed or not do you? I rate TMax 100 @ ei 64 in XTol and 400 @ ei 200 in XTol. Just wondering if the Prescysol claim about shooting box speed holds up for TMAX or not.

There's only one way to find out. :)
I don't use Kodak film so cannot help directly, but all the other stuff I use such as Maco, Wephoto, and Ilford are exposed at the makers rating and developed in Prescysol. I haven't found the need to give anything extra exposure, yet.
