Also, nikon's metering is generous; all my nikons give generous exposures from the FE2 up through the F4S and F100. Center weighted is slightly less generous compared to matrix in those cameras that have the matrix option.

Using Kodak products as examples, film that is properly developed with 13 minutes at 68F should give similar results if developed for 8 minutes at 78F.
Temperature consistency really does matter.
Try to keep it at 75F or cooler - 9.5 minutes should work at 75F.
Armpit of Texas? Yikes!
That is too much work!When I do this roll in the morning I’ll ice bath the solution to 68 and be extremely well timed on agitation etc.
You do have to compensate for the temperature if you are not cooling it to the ideal temp. Massive development chart has a function to determine the right time for the temperature, use it. Otherwise you are just being sloppy.I‘ve just never ever been overly concerned with temperature, but I’ve always used D76 or similar too.

I'm sure that function is useful, but I prefer the analogue approach - just spin the dial in one of my Kodak Darkroom DataguidesYou do have to compensate for the temperature if you are not cooling it to the ideal temp.

Yes I am not surprised about the improvement. I seemed to have missed the temperature at which you were developing at when I replied saying that my Agfa times showed that at 13 mins it was only one minute over. If we assume that Agfa has got it right at 12mins then at 13 and 78F you were close to at least 5.5 mins over which is very large percentage of your original timeLooking better this morning. Temps were 68-70, 1:50, 12 min, 10sec agitation each minute. AND NO LIGHT LEAKS!

Good, now get a thermometer and use it! Doesnt have to be laboratory accurate, just consistant so you can make adjustments to get useable results. Sloppy has a place in the world, just not in this case.
Nice, Darko, 1+25 adds a nice 'punch!' Feels like Salgado!Nothing wrong with your photos. In the sky some grain, but that is not bad. I always use Rodinal 1+25 with Trix, @400 box speed. I find this a nice combo, here are two examples:
Hmmm, for my taste they need to be printed down harder. The highlights aren't printed down enough and when you bring them down you'll get nicer blacks. Just my $.02...These are better, but I'm still not satisfied. Tri-X 400, 1/500th, F16, Rodinal 1:50, 12 mins. 10sec agitation each minute.
These are still much to grungy for me. Not sure if it's the camera/film combo, for film/developer combo, or what. But these aren't doing it for me.
