[LargeFormat] t-max films

[Don Feinberg]

Who knows if there's a general consensus?

I can't get decent results from TMax.  I don't buy it and don't use it -- I
use Ilford almost exclusively.

John Sexton uses TMax 100 exclusively.  Howard Bond uses it, as do a number
of other well known fine-art photographers.  They get superb results.

So?  Try it, use it, then judge for yourself.  (I wouldn't use the hc110 for
4x5.  I'd either use pyro, catechol, or tfx-2 depending "where you want to
go" with it.

I don't have an answer.
