Hi Tom,
I have just bought a can of D-76 for my Ilfords and especially some Tri-X and I
am very curious how it works in the darkroom.
I have no time right now for testing it, but I will post my experiences later.
When it is true that Tri-x pushed to 1600 and above is working fine, I will
also try it on concert shots. You might remember the problems I have shooting
at 1600 ASA with F1.4 and 1/60...
A first test some months ago with HP5 pushed to 1600 ASA and Agfa Rodinal gave
very bad negatives. Rodinal should not be used for this purpose. Actually I had
to extrapolate development time for that speed, as it is only recommended to
use Rodinal on HP5 up to 800 ASA. Great luck I also spent a roll of FujiPress
800 that evening.
Best regards
Bernd Möller
