Eight minutes in AM74 diluted 1:15 seems to be for TMY a bit short. Next time I go for 8:30 as some shots seems to be undeveloped. One inversion per 30 sec seem to be on other hand quite enought. I did first 30 sec constant inversion and each 30sec one inversion for 3 sec until the end of time. More info and possibly some example tomorrow after scan.

I just found interesting information about developing procedure for TMY and AM74. It says: 1 inversion per 30sek, 20C, 5 min at 1:7 so 8min at 1:15. Interesting. Maybe I'll try it tonight. It could be quite true when I compare to my results.

Scans from new TMY developed in Amaloco AM74 looks really good. It was a rainy day so no extra contrast. But I have shots on other film (old TMY) developed in XTOL 1:1 and AM74 looks better.
There is one sure think for a next time i will shorter the time and a bit less agitation. Some dark part of negatives are quite a problem for scanner. I mean it is on the border, but better be on safe side and use 9:00 next time. I have to say that if not better than this way gave at least same results as XTOL.
