Can you give me some advice on good film types/dev? I have been shooting
T-Max 100, dev in D-76 1:1, 68c in a Jobo Expert Drum, hand inversion. The
shooting is 70% studio, 30% outdoors.

Just in case you have some other advice, my purpose in scanning the negs is
to get enlarged negatives for contact printing w/ various alt photo
processes. People recommend imagesetters or LVT, imagesetters being the only
affordable of those two. I was wondering about lambda/lightjet though. Do
you know whether transparencies from these output decives can be used as
negatives?

Thanks.
