Fair point.

TMax400 in Kodak's own TMax developer is very, very good. I never found a 
dev that suited it better, nor other 35mm T-grain films. I used it for 
many years.

I used to rate at ISO400 and dev at 1+4

6min 30sec 20C
6min 15sec 21C
6min 0sec  22C
5min 45sec 23C
5min 30sec 24C

The above, off a yellowed piece of paper on my darkroom wall, are probably 
about 10% less than Kodak's, due to my preference for delicate negs. 
ISO400 was spot on. I remember that I preferred 24C, but can't now 
remember why. Probably not just impatience. Even at these relatively short 
times I never had any problems with uneven processing.

These negs were aimed at printing with a Durst dichroic head onto 
(usually) multigrade papers. They present no problems with scanning.
