Good point about D-76H, especially if Sid will mix a large batch
and keep it around a while.
Sid, if you insist on being thrifty, check out Photographers
Formulary and mix your own D-76 from chemicals supplied by them.
On a similar note, I tried ID-11 this evening, with TX @ 320,
normal development and 5-sec agitation every minute. Nice
looking negs. The reason I mention ID-11 here, is that it's
quite similar to D-76 - some say it's even interchangeable.
Differences are that it's a two package developer, and so the
chemicals stay fresher for a longer period while on the shelf.
Another difference is that some of the additives that Kodak uses
in D-76 to increase shelf life are missing in ID-11.
