Not sure of your developer but I didn't have that much difference in Xtol straight. I know the testing done on it by Sexton and King and probably kodak were with D76. One thing I have definitely found with Tmax films is that printing an underdeveloped neg is much easier than printing an overdeveloped neg. Better to err on the thin side.

Sounds realistic to me.

I was more concerned about the change in development
times which, in the case of my client's film today,
seems to still be too much although I haven't seen it
dry yet.  I'm sure it was overexposed so I'll be
adjusting on the next batch today.  Original TMY was
9.5-10 mins and today I ran at 8.

I've always cut back from Kodak's rec. times when it
came to T-max (as I did today slightly)  until the
previous versions coming from the new manufacturing
facility put the times pretty much spot on.

Today's results look like almost another minute needs
to come off the time using T-Max 1:7.

This happened a couple months ago and I read the
glowing test reports

Feb.  I have gotten
into arguments about this to the point that I don't
really want to do
it again but what I found in many side by side tests
shooting the exact
same subject at the same time with the same camera
and processing them
together that this is really much ado about
nothing...........
