When I was in college I did a zone system test with t max 400 and rodinal 1:50. I never liked t max until I used it with rodinal. With that dilution the toe comes up more in a straight line. In other words there is a lot of separation in the low tones.

That's TMAX? Hm that looks nicer than I recall. I just never got along with TMAX or Delta films for the most part, though ironically I absolutely loved Neopan 400 and Acros 100.
I was thinking of doing a film test for my own personal variables with TMAX 100/400, Delta 100/400, FP4, Acros, HP5 and Tri-X to kind of decide on what stock I want to focus on for myself for next year, but then I started thinking I might just use Tri-X and shoot it between 200-400 (200 with pull processing) and maybe sometimes 800+ with push processing.

Yep, this is T-Max 100 - the development is key as always. I am using Rodinal which leads to much better results than the standard D-76 developer. The T-Max 100 has a low amount of grain (T grain), too. The only thing I do not like with T-Max films in general is their strong purple and pink dye amount - the films need a lot more washing to get rid of it.

+1. I am using 1:100 dilution with Rodinal, but made the same experience.

Also the emulsion base is thick. I found that I need slightly more agitation than with tri-x to get even development.

Awesome! Thanks for the insight guys! I admit I've been a little lazy and I haven't been doing my own processing at home, I would like to honestly but I just haven't set aside time to do things PROPERLY. Not that it won't happen in the future, but for now I've been using my local lab.
That was a big reason for wanting to do the film test, to compare the films using the equipment I own now and use my lab to process, then scan everything at home on my Coolscan. That way I can see what gives me the results I want with what I have available to me.

Haven't done a whole lot of shooting lately due to that thing we call life! My eleven year old wrapped up his first introduction to crew so I took a quick shot with the MM and 50 Summicron.

Trying Leica Monochrom. Getting out of severe GAS, I am starting 365 days project with Leica Mono with 50mm as my only camera. This is among first few test shots I took after receiving the camera

Amazing characters Allen! The second is just crazy with the reflected person in shades and Pac-man ghost only adding to the overall what the! 
I printed this one a while ago, something about the interrupted arrows/vignette I liked.
Doing more printing/less scanning whilst I'm only using film - still have loads of 35mm from 2016 that's already scanned/in the pipeline though.
I am enjoying myself a lot more but then I missed film the first time around so getting it all out of my system perhaps.
The ever dwindling supply of chemicals here might drive me back to an M9 for colour stuff at some point, very not good here for film supply.
For now,
