T-Max 400 varies with the developer somewhat, you may
find that changing developers will give you more
satisfactory results. I like T-Max 400 for ****trait work
because it gives me a kind of skin rendition I like, smooth
and "glowing". I mostly develop it in D-76 diluted 1:1. I
will try the new stuff pretty soon, probaby in 120 because I
still have a lot of bulk film for 35mm.
I just looked at the Kodak site. There is not yet a data
sheet for the new version but there is a development chart.
The curious thing is that the FAQ sheet there for the new
film indicates the use of diluted developer but only full
strength developer is shown on the new development chart.
Also, some posts at the time Tri-X production was moved
to the color film plant, where Kodak now makes all its B&W
films, indicated the users found the new film finer grained
than 400T-Max. The tabular grain film should have been finer
grained. It looks like Kodak has finally caught up with
whatever was wrong.
