I can get rid of it meanwhile by increasing the time in fixer (about 12 minutes) and doubled the time in Kodak Hyper Wash (4 minutes). Then rinsing with water for several minutes.

Pyro PMK seems to me to be when I have the clearest negatives. Don't know if it's the PMK itself or the dedicated fixer that I use with it. Also, Rodinal seems to work better. Go figure.

I use both 4x5 & 120 from TMAX 100. Hadn't thought about the pink as I just scan B&W. Is it affecting contrast/density? Since I use Rodinal, I guess not as much an issue.

I am running out of Rodinal & will be using XTOL
Affect contrast/density? I can't honestly answer that, Dan. It doesn't seem to, in my case; it's just aggravating that it won't all wash off all the time.
I think Freestyle still sells Rodinal? I need a new bottle, too.

I like Rodinal, but doesn't do as good a job when I use it with TMAX 400. Very grainy results.
I have been sending the 400 to a lab but have some XTOL to mix up
Interesting discussion here! Only reason why I used Rodinal for this development was that I ran out of Xtol which I normally use for 4x5 developments.Here is another one:

I have pretty much standardized on Rodinal and PMK Pyro for TMax 100 in 4X5 and 120. Mostly for efficiency's sake, I suppose; I like using one-shot stuff and Rodinal, at least, seems to last forever. As indicated by your shot above, I like the rich, contrasty look Rodinal gives to TMax. I don't do any wet printing so, when I do, it's digital and my negatives have the look I like.
Great info guys, thanks!
I don't seem to have any residual pink after the 2 min hypo-clean, at least on Tmax100.
Have 400' of Fuji Eterna vivid 250d 35mm on the way, supposedly tested ok. May be a couple of weeks before I get any of my own testing done but will certainly post some. Might want to trade some for similar 65mm if anyone is interested
Here is one from some recent 35mm TM100 / D76 interesting (to me at least) in that the lens is the apo telyt-r 280/2.8 (at F4). Discovered I can focus it with the "To-R" spotting scope adapter, attach the M2 and fire. Not very useful for hummingbirds though...

this one (or 2) is from the Penti, this camera is using the "Rapid"-style film canisters, film used was re-spooled Agfa APX 100
…and this one was shot with the Pen EES2, will re-shoot this in more contrasty light: Heimat LXIX by Georg, auf Flickr

Half-frame cameras can be a lot of fun, I would just avoid getting one for the "Rapid"-style film-canisters, except the photographer is already heavy involved in the bulk-film-loading business ;-)
A vintage East German camera, Exa v.3 (Exa Sommerda) with an A. Schact Travenar 135mm f3.5 lens. (yes, that's the whole name on the filter ring. Photo taken with Delta 100 film.
The little Exa with its waist level finder is a delight to use, despite its limited shutter speed range (only goes up to 1/150s).
