But how would that work?Like some other had guessed, I will stick with reticulation before the development process.
I dropped my camera on stone floor mid-roll so the film must have reticulated due to post-traumatic shock. I know I had one when pslatic hit the floorLike some other had guessed, I will stick with reticulation before the development process.
That was just a joke. I guess I'll never know what happened, but I'll be more careful with next roll.Reticulation is not known to take place outside of the processing cycle itself, although I guess it might be possible.

Yes indeed!Acid vapor?. I once or twice would place a cotton ball soaked with concentrated glacial acetic acid in the tank prior to development to try to intensify the latent image. The result was something like reticulation.

Thank you, I thought they were good as well, but upon closer inspection I've noticed the same problem as before, which is in fact described in that post. And, what can I say, I like high contrast. Perhaps because of their resemblance to my childhood photos.Nice images. The subjects are high contrast, which night images are, because of black, or nearly black, sky and white, or nearly white, lights.
I took the values from here:D-76 stock for 7 minutes is a pretty strong development prescription. It will bring out the grain, especially with Tri-X, especially with high contrast scenes.
Yes I do care to and certainly will give your suggestion a try. However, as I've read, stock solution has less grain than 1+1. Doesn't it mean that 1+2 will have the highest grain of them all? The film is expired nearly eight years ago, that is why I exposed it at EI250 (and the previous roll at EI320).If you care to, try a subject in flat lighting, exposed at box speed, developed in D-76 1+2 for 14 minutes. It will help show you another aspect of the same film and developer combination.
Why do you go to digitaltruth when the Kodak recommended information is directly available from Kodak?Even though for some reason unclear to me, ISO 400 and ISO 800 have exact same given values and I can't fathom how is that supposed to work.
It's because I can never find them on their website, unlike Ilford. Or maybe I'm just unattentive.Why do you go to digitaltruth when the Kodak recommended information is directly available from Kodak?

I understand the pros and cons of pushing/pulling and I'm not trying to make a miracle. Although it is interesting to know what Kodak doesn't recommend.You need to understand that the sensitivity of the film is essentially fixed at time of development. Changing the development time merely changes the contrast of the negative. If you under-expose a negative (meter at 800 instead of 400) you will lose shadow detail, and increasing the development ("pushing") won't help that. What may be improved by the increase in contrast is the appearance of the near shadows and mid-tones, but that improvement may also be accompanied by a reduction of quality in the highlights. Kodak doesn't recommend an increase of development for Tri-X metered at 800 and developed in D-76 because, according to their criteria, the improvements in the near shadow and midtones are outweighed by the reduction of quality in the highlights.
The only thing I care about right now are those nasty little black spots on my negatives.Your criteria (subjective or objective) may vary from Kodak's - you may care more about the near shadows and midtones and may be less worried about the highlights. If so, you may elect to increase the development. As Kodak says, the suggested development times are a starting point and you are free to adjust them as you might prefer.
M-88, regarding grain and developer concentration, I don't have personal experience. 1+2 dilution meets my goals.
