D76 stock w/Kodak P3200 @ 1600

[jgcull]

I'm about to process 3200 using D76 stock solution. I've never used D76 except at 1:1. What can I expect to find? Have any of you used this combination?

Thanks.

Hi Janet,

Yes, I've used this combo, but only a couple of times as TMAX 3200 is a specialty film for me, not something I use often.

I went to the MDC http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html and used their time of 12.5 min at an EI of 1600. I think the key to this film is what EI you shoot it at. It's NOT an ISO 3200 film! It's more of an 800-1200 speed film.

You'll find that using D-76 1+0 (stock) will give you finer grain that using it 1+1 and that may be a nice benefit with this grainy film, although lots of folks like a heavy dose of grain.

P3200 w/D76 stock

I like it. I frequently have trouble focusing, even with the grain focuser, because of my aged vision. No problem with this - the grain is clear and beautiful (in my opinion). Like you, Jim, I hardly ever use this film but it's nice as an option.

Thanks, guys!

p.s. first trial print here...

Hi, Janet.

Nice photo. Glad to see you are getting good results with this combo. Yet another string to your bow !!!!

Regards, John.

Ps this helps my also aging eyes to focus. Binocular vision helps.
