Who knows if there's a general consensus?
I can't get decent results from TMax. I don't buy it and don't use it -- I
use Ilford almost exclusively.
John Sexton uses TMax 100 exclusively. Howard Bond uses it, as do a number
of other well known fine-art photographers. They get superb results.
So? Try it, use it, then judge for yourself. (I wouldn't use the hc110 for
4x5. I'd either use pyro, catechol, or tfx-2 depending "where you want to
go" with it.
I don't have an answer.
