In class we've been doing all of our homework on HP-5 up until now. It's
ok, I guess, but no matter what I do the grain seems oppressive. I tried
using half-strength chemistry last time and using a longer developing
time and it may have come out a little less grainy, but not much.
Anyway, as of yesterday we can use whatever B&W film we want as long as
we can process it with D-76 chemistry.
That would be a problem -- Tech Pan in D-76 comes out about as
contrasty as microfilm.
Ilford Pan-F does OK in D-76 in my experience. Much lower grain
as you'd expect from ISO 50 film vs. 400.
Maco's UP25+ is another fine-grained, slow-speed alternative that
does OK in D-76.
