Kodak Professional T-Max Black & White Film Developer | Liquid - To Make 5 Liters

I've been using Kodak development chemistries since I was 10-years old and the latest iterations of their products do not disappoint. I use T-Max Developer versus powder-based developers (e.g., D-76) because it is easy to mix and use in small batches. There may be subtle differences between this and other developers available if you can truly control all variables; but I get great results with T-Max developer shooting mostly at stock ISO with Kodak and Ilford B&W films.

Liquid is so much easier than mixing powders. Use a small graduate Ora syringe to set up correct dilution and go! Bottle will last for months undiluted.

T-Max100 is one of my favorite films so, of course, T-Max developer is a go-to dev.

I used to love TMax developer for all my T-grain film development. My Acros negatives in particular came out almost grianless. I had a hard time finding grain to focus on with my enlarger in my darkroom. It's a great developer but unfortunately it has gotten way too expensive. Back in November 2022 it was $18.50. Now it's $28! That's a $10 price hike in less than a year. I don't get it. What's Kodak's angle here? They're pricing their customers out of buying all the products. I don't buy anything from Kodak anymore. They've priced me out of both their film and now their chemistry. Legacy Pro makes a TMax clone, LMAX, for more than half the price of Kodak TMax, which I am switching to going forward. Kodak is sinking their own ship...again
