Developing times chart for T-Max

Orio · Expire: 2012-12-04

Could anybody please help me with a developing time chart for T-MAX developer. One that lists times for different temperatures and also the times needed for pushing the film 1 and 2 stops.

The course teacher told us that the chart is on the Kodak Italian web site, but I can not find it. And I can not find it either on the Kodak US site.

thanks!

Yeah they have it buried on the pro site.

Here is a link some PDF's on the LH side of page

I don't know why they make it hard to find but they do Confused

I emailed you the TMAX pdf.

There are various printings of this book also.
Can be handy. Maybe Graham has one kicking around his evil scientist laboratory Wink

Thanks Andy, what I found is really poor, it's a two page PDF that only lists the developing time for nominal exposure at 24°C
No mention of different temperatures times, and no mention of pushed film Sad

Hmmm
They did change it. That is lowsy. It looks like one of the pages from the book.
As for push and hold-back times. You will want to experiment for yourself.
Here is my method for T-max film /T-max dev for a starting point.

Establish base times for nominal developing.
Consider pushing and pulling in terms of a percentage.
For one stop of pushing I add 25% more developing time.

For a minus 1 stop I add one stop of exposure to the shutter speed.
Reduce 25% development time and also agitate the film half as often.

You will come up with your own best method. Remeber it is an art as well as a science.
For example. In the last couple years I stopped reducing time for a Minus development. Rather I use exhausted solution and a water bath.
Refer to that book for some other ideas.

Thanks Andy!
Bill has just mailed me a complete PDF, I think it contains the times also.

In any case I will try your methods when I will be more experienced Smile

Ever since I found this:

for my iPhone, I threw away all my development printouts I had underneath my kitchen sink. Now I just develop with my iPhone telling me exactly when to agitate, how long to develop, stop, fix, and rinse, etc. :-DDD

Well I'm bummed, I gave all my tanks and everything away years ago ( wish I had kept them now) But I kept my notes. I was going to see if I could help. I found my notebook but it has got wet and was stuck together in one complete mass. I was going to keep that forever. I also found some old useless chemicals. Sorry I couldn't help.

Is there anything that the iPhone can't do? Rolling Eyes

Will it water my plants if I leave it at home when I'm away? Laughing

A link to a pdf I have stashed of T-Max and various other films, using Ilford and others' chemicals and a very useful x-ref time and temp graph.
