I can't speak for others, but personally I gave up TMY-2 because I couldn't develop it by inspection. Because of its magenta dye it looks totally black under the green light.I'm astonished that so many photographers prefer a non T-grain film. T-grain seems to me to be quite the superior technology.
OK, I know I could use infrared goggles, but those are expensive, and uncomfortable to say the least.
My idea of a perfect film is one with the reciprocity behaviour and the characteristic curve of TMY-2, the base of TXP, and no magenta dye. But there isn't any.![]()
