Well, you have come to the right place. There are at least a dozen threads on this forum addressing this exact subject. Instead of repeating what has already been said I would reccomend that you look alittle farther in this forum. Have fun.

use D76 1 part stock developer and 1 part H2O 12 minutes 20 degrees celsius, every 30 seconds agitation it's much better than the t-max and x-tol "developers". I am a professional photographer and I used t-max and x-tol developers and the final part I found is: D'76 so no problems with contrast, high lights, shadows, always the same results, flexibility, use D-76 (or ID 11) they are the best.

In testing TMax 120 film, I found the following use/development times adequate for full exploitation of the films density curve;

Just expose it at ISO 100, then develop the film using regular TMax developer 1+4, for 7m30s, agitation during the first 30 secs, then every 30 secs.

You might give it a try, exposing the film at ISO 80 for even better results.
